The Moon Pool

A still pool under the canopy that shows no reflection by day.

A closer look

At the threshold

The canopy closes around water so still that its refusal to reflect feels deliberate. By day, the pool offers only its surface. Under moonlight, the same quiet place becomes something a visitor might approach with an object held very carefully.
