Concept Narrative
Dreams at 100 Fathoms
By Ken O'Toole
My vision for the mosaic mural at Marine Park Family Aquatic Center is rooted in my own
childhood experience of public pools. The joy and excitement of spending an afternoon around
the water was not just about splashing my sisters or trying out the high board. It was also about a
place where my imagination took flight.
Regardless of how many of my friends or other kids were at the pool, or how loud the crowd
became, I could slip under the water into a silent dream-like world.
There, I was a famous deep sea explorer, a treasure hunter looking for sunken ships. I was a
spaceman visiting a hostile environment. I cannot have been the only child who thought like that,
and I am sure those types of dreams and imaginings are common to all children.
Dreams at 100 Fathoms depicts the view from a diver's eyes as they look toward the surface.
The sun reflects down through the waters' depths. Although the darker figures in the distance are
indistinct, they speak of adventure, intrigue and the mysterious future.
Though this is assuredly abstract, I believe it embraces the spirit and purposes of the Marine Park
Family Aquatic Center.
