 The Kitchen Table Series

This is a photograph by the artist Carrie Mae Weems. I can relate to this piece because the kitchen table is where I do everthing at home. I do my homework on  it, I eat, I watch TV, and I talk on the phone there. Just as in the photo, at home the kitchen table is the center of the house. I like the fact that the picture shows a kitchen table and not a dining table which is more formal. The dining table is the ideal in a household because it's where people eat. My kitchen table is located in the kitchen but has the size to be a dining table. The lamp shining on the table emphasizes the table as the protagonist both in the picture and title.
