In “Soon It Will Be Deep Enough”, a group of people are having a pool party inside an airplane while the water level is slowly rising up. It was made while being confronted by a large wildfire in Los Angeles, a city with a strong pool party scene. Initially conceived as a reflection on the global climate crisis, it may accidentally correspond to many other critical situations we find ourselves in today.

“很快就會夠深了”作品中，一群身材健美的泳裝男女，在一個飛機艙內舉行泳池派對，對逐漸上升的水平面彷彿視而不見。作品創作於當時被山火包圍的洛杉磯，一座充滿對海灘與泳池想像的城市。作品的初衷是對全球氣候問題的回應，但也似乎意外地可以對應當下許多其它問題和情境。
