A chair is a utilitarian piece of furniture that is part of the mundanity of our everyday life. It’s a piece that bears our spirits and has become an embodiment of our interconnected beings. By reconfiguring the chair as an interconnected and spatialized form, it manifests proximities in time and space. Proximity encourages us to tell our stories, pass down traditions, and embrace warm tenderness. Whether we are at our family’s dining table, a doctor's waiting room, or sitting on a bus with strangers, chairs carry us. They are witnesses of our relationships, personal histories, worries, and fleeting moments. It is within these moments that time has brought us together.
