A pool shell is the encasing structure of a pool that confines its water and supports its swimmers. A pool is a small area of still water lying on the ground or another surface. A pool in the shell suggests the predicate: a pooling, an accumulation of parts, merging, uniting, and combining of two or more things. The shell becomes a temporary mould for the pooling in which the pool forms to the characteristics of its shell. A visual description of both forms (pool shell and pool in the shell) would be similar. A description of their purpose and presentation would be complimentary, as they are not copies of each other but rather a transference of material qualities and energies. A watercolour tray is a set of shells in which water and pigment pool together. A mirror in a compact alludes to the pool in which Narcissus sees his reflection. A pooling of patina chemicals is found in the grooves of copper foil shells. The pool in the shell fulfills the task of self-depiction.
