The Tristan – Pool Cabana

The first of four installations at The Tristan Apartments, “Exploration” is inspired in Tristán De Luna y Arellano’s voyage from Spain when he first landed in what is now Pensacola, Florida.

The ceiling of the exterior pool cabana was intervened with hanging canvas in a crescent moon shape, with hand-painted half moons that reminds viewers of reflections on water. “Exploration” creates a sense of enclosure and space that resonated with the apartment complex’s residents and broader community.

This wind feature marks the first kinetic artwork to come out of DDC Studio.
