Claustrophobic tranquility

There's something unsettling about the dreamy serenity of this illusionary swimming pool created by Argentinian artist Leandro Erlich. I sometimes dream of places permeated by the uncanny quality this swimming pool possesses; it's exactly the kind of claustrophobically tranquil landscape which signals that a dream is about to turn into a nightmare.
