Residence: Empty Pool

I travelled through a city that was in ruins. There was life occasionally, but the eyes of the people were sunken and dead. It became clear that diseased had ripped through this part during the war, and it had been abandoned to fester on it's own. I came across a residence made in a dried up, abandoned pool. A woman and her granddaughter had made their home there, and were kind enough to give me what shelter they could from an incoming storm and let me photograph their home.

It leaked somewhat, even after they had put plastic sheeting over the top of the exposed pool as a makeshift roof. It was cold and damp, but it looked liked some expert hands had hijacked several of the pipes in the poolside to create plumbing. I asked about looters, but it became clear there was nothing they had worth stealing, and they too had to go out every day to forage for foodstuffs.

It was miserable.

People: Gladys & Lucy

Gladys lives with her granddaughter Lucy in an abandoned pool. For most of the war there had been three women together; Lucy's mother, Gladys' daughter, who succumbed to illness a few months ago. It was a blow to the family. Gladys, a reluctant matriarch, suffers her own ailments as she watches her grandchild's failed attempts to thrive in the new world.
