A Chair Dressed with a Scene. My practice explores the fleeting moment when the boundary between a chair and a person begins to blur — a moment shaped by experimental, disruptive materials and forms. Through this exploration, I aim to reveal a Scene that transforms the everyday into something atmospheric and dramatic. I redefine the chair not as a functional object within a space, but as one that dresses itself in a Scene, an object capable of holding emotion, intention, and narrative. Through the chair, I pursue the subtle scenery created when function and the feeling it carries melt into one.
