on the meeting

The On The Meeting collection of chairs, armchairs, and other seating furniture introduces deliberate deformations that completely disrupt their original function. These objects are designed to make sitting either impossible or extremely uncomfortable, provoking reflection on the nature of interpersonal relationships and social situations. This open series symbolizes moments when meetings—be they family gatherings, business encounters, or social interactions—become sources of discomfort. Chairs, typically seen as objects offering comfort and stability, are transformed here into tools that amplify the tension and unease accompanying conversations we wish to end but cannot due to social norms, cultural expectations, or respect for others. But is forced politeness in the face of inner opposition truly a sign of respect? This collection compels viewers to question the authenticity of their relationships and the fine line between compromise and self-betrayal. Through the physical discomfort represented by the furniture, the artist shifts the focus to the emotional unease often concealed in situations where conversation and presence feel more like obligations than choices. This is an invitation to dialogue—not just about furniture, but about the everyday meetings that leave invisible marks on us.
