The artwork shows the intimate relationship between the artist and the chair, turning it into a symbolic representation if the various emotions and experiences endured during the pandemic. The chair as a central figure in the composition not only highlights its physical presence but also symbolizes the emotional support and constancy it provided during a period of uncertainty. The chair becomes a witness to a range of activities and emotions, serving as a silent companion through moments of work, leisure, pain, joy, and contemplation. The emphasis on the chair as a source of growth, strength, and security adds layers of meaning to the artwork. It suggests that even in the midst of challenges and hardships, there are elements in our lives that anchor us and foster personal development. The chair, in this case, becomes a metaphor for resilience and stability in an otherwise unstable and unsafe time. Placing the chair in the centre of the composition not only draws attention to its significance but also conveys a sense of balance and order. This centrality can be interpreted as a reflection of the stability and continuity found in relationships with family, friends, and loved ones—those who contribute to a sense of home and love.
