The work Chair 4785(2016), is part of a body of works dealing with the individual’s place in 

society, identifying ones’ class and discovering inspiration.

In Chair 4785, a man appears to be running towards an unmarked target, to infinity, having to 

deal with a flood of obstacles, in the form of chairs, falling on him. 

The chairs as a metaphor for the variety of options, the multiple decisions a person is 

compelled to make; a multiplicity which is paralysing thus the individual does not reach his 

destination nor does he reach a choice.

The hectic movement, like a sea in a storm, radiates the human distress and mental noise 

of a man forced to make decisions against a multitude of possibilities; 

When the movement of multiple solid items rises to the point it allegedly takes the form of  fluid, 

exemplifying the change in the physical state leading to the alteration in the 

emotional state, resulting in catharsis. 

Catharsis so as to soothe the agitation of the soul and enabling the process of selection of 

what has always been there.
