The Abandoned Chair Series celebrates the rescue of objects abandoned in the pursuit of beauty, highlighting their fundamental utility. Diverse models introduce a novel aesthetic that merges the allure of beautiful individuals with the understated elegance of ordinary objects, devoid of intentional artistry. This series imbues inanimate objects with a soul, embracing a Dadaist philosophy that uncovers beauty in life's basic, functional elements. These objects, like chairs, are revived and repurposed, photographed to honor their renewed existence and their enduring support for people.
