The only text in this work is the word familia" (family), with each letter of the word accompanied by an empty chair above it. As Alex remarks, the chairs represent the mealtime gatherings she shared with her Argentine family and the emptiness she felt upon her return to the U.S.; they also symbolize the number of aunts and uncles who had died in her family, each one represented by an empty chair. |
