Table I (Tradition) refers to the omnipresence of tradition, to its continuity and duration. A surrealistic challah—supernaturally long and twisted, wrapped around the entire table, points to the spiritual and symbolic dimension of food.

The installation Tables was created by Anna Królikiewicz for the exhibition "What’s Cooking?" as an artistic counterpoint to historical narration. The four tables metaphorically and poetically convey the main ideas presented in the following parts of the exhibition: Tradition, Diaspora, Modernity and Memories.
