A glowing pond called "Icolette Pond" exists between two mountains in Santa Monica. The image upon the water's surface is a hazy picture of a girl with short black hair, this is Roanne Woo, playing Icolette.

A sculptural installation of Icolette playing on the surface of a pond.
Icolette Pond debuted in the foothills of the Santa Monica mountains in the Summer of 2024. Friends were given a map to a hidden location in the forest that led them to the magic pond. The water glows and sings, depicting the tale of Icolette. The pond has been installed at California State University, Northridge, Soundpedro CHARIVARI, and now is at Alt Projects LA until February 8th, 2025. With every site, local foliage is used and returned to the earth.
An indoor pond, "Icolette Pond", is in the center of a white walled gallery, Alt Projects. It is lush with leaves and flowers. It sits atop a wooden platform, and in the middle of two white drawn curtains. A projector is attached to the back wall, adorned with leaves and branches, projecting an image down onto the water's surface.
