Sailing the Shipping Seas

The pool is almost empty.

Leandro Erlich’s Swimming Pool creates the illusion of people standing underwater — but only a thin layer of real water sits above a transparent glass surface.

Below it, visitors walk through a dry chamber, while people above see them as if they are submerged.

The work turns a simple architectural element into a visual trick: surface becomes depth, and the ordinary becomes impossible.

Welcome to Katara Week 2026! This event was originally created for Twitter, but after receiving so many requests to bring it to Tumblr as well, we've decided to host it here too.

You may vote up to seven favorite prompts HERE. Voting is open for two weeks, from 1 July to 14 July, and the prompts with the most votes will be included in the official Katara Week prompt list. 

Lineart under cut.

Heart to heart, skin to skin ❤️
