The concept of "Turning the Tables" originates from traditional board games, where the "table" refers to the playing surface, and the phrase symbolizes a dramatic shift in the game's outcome. In these games, to "turn the tables" meant physically flipping the board, unexpectedly reversing the course of play. A player once at a disadvantage could suddenly gain the upper hand, completely altering the dynamics of the game.
First recorded in the 16th century, this phrase has since evolved to embody the idea of unexpected change and the power of a sudden shift in perspective. It represents more than just a game—it captures the unpredictable nature of life, where the tables can turn at any moment, shifting the balance of power and altering the course of the narrative entirely.
My Turning The Tables Collection is a combination of mixed media works, photography and digital art.
