Comfort Zones
Taking frequent walks during the pandemic, I became more aware of the rotation of furniture that can be found on roadsides. To see comfortable living chairs in uncomfortable situations felt similar to my feelings of quarantining at home during uncertain times. As they sit at the side of the road, they are suspended in a limbo caused by a change occurring: People moving, families changing, lifestyles shifting. Whether they’ll be picked up by a new owner for a new life or discarded in a landfill, there’s no way to know. As they await their fate, I imagine the life they’ve lived before and admire the comfort they may have brought to many.
