Two days after his father disappeared, Adam drew his parents’ room. His father arose in the middle of the night, telling Mrs. Costello that he was going to a charity auction. The Costello family initially assumed that Mr. Costello died by suicide, but they learned in a group text from him that he took the more expensive car and deserted the family because he felt emasculated.
The Costello dining room, which can seat six, is outdated, and the family never uses it. Adam focuses on capturing the vacancy of the room, which contains a large table with six chairs and several pictures of the Costello family, including digital picture frames, one of which is broken. In his painting, he chooses to depict a photo of himself and his father on the working digital frame.
