Rooftop Regatta

By Ross Jones

As evening light settles across a rooftop pool, a fleet of delicate pond yachts drifts quietly across the luminous turquoise water. Suspended above the city, these small handcrafted vessels create a striking contrast between fragility and permanence, their slender sails glowing against the monumental urban skyline beyond.

Rather than depicting the drama of competition, Rooftop Regatta is an exploration of stillness, balance and quiet observation. The reflective surface of the pool becomes a temporary harbour where movement is gentle, the boats are carefully spaced, and the city remains distant and enduring. The result is a contemplative composition that invites the viewer to pause and appreciate the beauty found in fleeting moments.
