The relationship between me and the dining table

This project is about me and my relationship with the dining table. My life story and erudition revolve around having meals with family members.

During mealtimes, memories are always brought forth based on the food, atmosphere, conversation, events, and even the meal participants. These memories have inspired me to create a series of illustrated books about life stories experienced at the table throughout each generation in my family.

Humans are social animals, used to living in connection to one another.

 However, as our lifestyles have changed throughout time, this has affected our interconnectedness. Since the pandemic, people have resumed living together with their families and getting back to basics.
