I am tired.




This is a chair. Some of you may recognize its home in McEwen 115. I know I am toying with the boundaries of visual rhetoric, but I feel like doing something moronic.
The "author" of this chair happens to be a carpenter. Chances are the carpenter designed this chair with the intent of its mass production. Nevertheless, the persuasive message is the same.

Your legs are tired.
Gravity must be acting up right now...
Perpendicular to the floor no more.

The intended audience is anyone who happens to pass by, or isn't currently on amphetamines. Anyone with a torn anterior cruciate ligament. It's argument is even more affective with the audiences' progressing age.

Abstracted thought. I like it!

Agreed with CJ, very cool! Since I love to act, I can relate hardcore to over-analyzing and interpreting EVERYTHING.
