Being Alive is Normal is a fully tufted, creature-like chair that explores the surreal nature of embodiment and the question of what it even means to be “normal.” It’s a functional object, yet it feels like it might come to life—with feet and hands grounding it in both humor and tenderness. Faces appear on all sides, reflecting the ways we are seen and the many ways we see ourselves.
This piece pushes against the rigid structures we’re expected to conform to. We live in a culture that constantly diagnoses, categorizes, and asks us to explain ourselves—why we are the way we are—rather than simply allowing us to be. The chair isn’t alive or normal, but it exists now, pulled from imagination into reality. That act of creation—of giving form to something strange, joyful, and entirely invented—feels like its own kind of freedom.
