Art should somehow relate to the artist that makes it. It should tell you something about that person and their experience. The visual artist creates images for a purpose, there is a reason that they are showing you what is in the image.
Here are three images of picnic tables. These images are not just about the tables. There is always more to it. Location of the table- what is around it? Think about what you would experience if you were sitting there right now. Do these tables make you think of other picnic tables you have seen in your travels? What did you do at those tables? Who was there with you? When you think of that time do you recall the conversations? Do you recall the smells?
Does the place in the image remind you of experiences you have had or places you have been?
It is not just a table. It is a doorway to your life. To the places you have been and the people you know and the people you knew.
