The fortress

The dining table, the traditional spot to where family comes to be. It is the place where defining conversations happens. It is where, not only food is served, but also bounding memories are forged. In today’s reality, the dining table has become a permanent stay. It is now the stronghold where we protect live ones from an invisible danger that stalks our breathing air.

In this image, the table becomes the support upon which mother and daughter keep their hug. It is the solid surface where the maternal cocoon-fortress rests. The desire for protection against an adversity that is beyond our strength. Faced with this situation we retreat into a retrospective embrace.
