Raleigh Hotel

from $2,500.00

This aerial photograph of the shuttered Raleigh Hotel Art Deco pool was inspired by the enduring elegance of Miami’s golden era of hospitality and the vision of architect Lawrence Murray Dixon, who designed the pool in 1940. The work draws from the timeless geometry and glamour of Art Deco, as well as the quiet resilience of a landmark that has weathered decades of change and, most recently, the force of Hurricane Irma.

Through this image, I hope viewers feel an appreciation for both history and survival—a sense of nostalgia for the mid-century heyday of Miami Beach and a quiet awe in seeing the pool preserved amidst the hotel’s ongoing restoration.

I chose aerial photography to honor the pool’s architectural precision and symmetry, best appreciated from above. The elevated perspective transforms the subject into a serene composition of curves and lines, where the interplay of shadow and color speaks to the elegance of Art Deco design.
