– River holds the chairs
Snow, rain, night and sunlight pass
The table stays still –

A table for the river

A Table for the River is a personal visual study exploring the fragile meeting point between domestic ritual and untamed landscape. A dining table, placed directly within rivers, forests, frozen waters and shifting weather, becomes an impossible room, exposed, silent, and ceremonial.

Across each scene, the familiar act of gathering is displaced into nature. The series questions what remains of comfort, intimacy and design when the walls disappear, leaving only water, light, forest and time.
