Identity Chair

We all have ideas about who we want to be. Those ideas may be in line with or completely opposed to who we truly are deep down. That dance, the interaction between who we want to be and who we are, is the mechanism which forms who we become. This chair tells the story of how I became who I am today: the result of my gay identity developing deep down in my youth and the conscious decisions I made growing up trying to hide and fight it. The reconciliation of both ultimately resulted in a thing of beauty – an identity I'm proud of and sit comfortably in today.
