Who Can Eat at a Time Like This is a small table.

“Who can eat at a time like this? People are missing. You people are selfish. The Dufrenes are in someone's trunk right now, with duct tape over their mouths.” - Mitch Hedberg

This table is a scaled model of an UFO spaceship performing a mass-abduction event. Cows, farmers, chickens are all beamed up into this cloud-like hovercraft. Especially during night time, the acrylic glass-tube legs are like the omnidirectional searchlight, scouring for any remaining survivors yet to fall victim to their impending doom. It could be, at last, why the Dufrenes are missing.

This table was first published in Pool, and later exhibited at Volume Gallery.
