Punctum

This image is part of William Eggleston's series Troubled Waters. However, when I view it, my eyes ignore the empty chairs and go straight to the painting above the organ. This instantly places me in my grandmother's house in England. I remember playing the piano, as instructed by my family, and looking up at the painting of a landscape above me. Punctum, in its nature, has removed me from the artist's original intent of making the photograph and has forever connected my own story within the image.
