I was thinking about the lure to
be
part of exclusive groups,
I was thinking about the luxurious world of power and possessions,
I was thinking about the fantasy of wealth and success that is continuously propagated,
I was thinking about the dynamics of a society that is hesitant to admit it enjoys and aspires to participates in the spectacle of exclusivity,
I was thinking about rituals, engaging in specific formalized acts, and utterances not of one’s own making,
I was thinking about what these tables can provoke, rather than what they are,I was thinking about objects, form, shape and material,
I was thinking about access and entitlement.
