Connection unstable

The processes of migration, which begin deep inside, continue with a succession of moves in search of a more stable position in time, in circumstances that previously seemed impossible. I am sure that one can feel like a migrant even in one’s own country, in one’s own home. 

One of the first things I bought in Turkey was a set of plastic dining chairs, based on the principle of 'something you can’t spare'. Despite appearances, the chairs were comfortable, but they were of very poor quality and broke after a few days of use. This led to an accumulation of broken chairs on the balcony.

There is a saying in the design world that every designer goes through the ordeal of designing a comfortable chair once in their life. I, on the other hand, made an already uncomfortable chair even worse by working with it. Though it retains some of the comfort attributes of conventional furniture, it completely rejects commodification. Stripped of all functionality, the chair ceases to be a commodity and becomes a marginal object in the domestic world of things.
