Carrie Mae Weems's selection of photographs around this kitchen table differentiated a lot from her other work for me. This was due to the normality of this scene, how different activities take place around a kitchen table. Despite this normality, each picture has a distinct sense of loneliness as there doesn't seem to be any communication taking place what is the center of the home. The plain decor of the kitchen with a simple low spotlight casts a harsh light on this loneliness and adds to the empty feeling you get from the image.
