# Quiet Table

> Candles, pears, cups, and halved oranges on a linen table, lit by one window in the Marseille studio.

- **Year**: 2024
- **Location**: Studio, Marseille

Still lifes from one table and one window.

## Project images

- Candles and the market haul.
- The bottle against the dark wall.
- The same table, an hour later.
- Morning cup.
- Plate and cup, side light.
- Blueberries, mostly eaten.
- Half an orange.
- Pear and orange, last light.

Between commissions I set up the same table in the Marseille studio: a linen cloth, a dark wall, and one window to the left. Whatever came home from the market went on it.

Over the winter that meant candles, pears, black grapes, halved oranges, and the white cups I drink from every day. Nothing is styled for more than ten minutes; the point is the light, not the arrangement. The series is about slowing down enough to see an orange properly.
