About this artwork

Painted during the quiet isolation of the COVID years, The Restaurant with the Shark Table captures a surreal moment of longing — the memory of a place once filled with sound, now stilled by absence.

Inside a room of red walls and golden frames, a window—or perhaps a door—opens to a tree and a slice of blue sky. A clock points to 9:30, suspended between morning and night, between what once was routine and what became confinement. At the center stands… a table that merges with a shark — half creature, half furniture. Its eye is a spoon, its fin a fork, its body the surface upon which a single margarita glass rests, fused to the wood, impossible to lift.
