Inspiration
The inspiration sprang from the desire to transform several worn and neglected chairs into something new and extraordinary. This process mirrors the way members of a community unite, each bringing their unique contributions, to form a singular, powerful entity. It's a testament to the beauty and strength that emerges when diverse elements come together, creating something far greater than the sum of its parts.

Unique Elements & Features
We've creatively merged components from five distinct chairs along with reclaimed wood, each piece charred and sealed. Assembled and intricately laser-engraved by Lolow Designz, to craft a uniquely cohesive creation

Message & Emotion
As a community, our diverse backgrounds are not barriers but strengths that unite us for the common good. We are presented with a special chance to embrace those in need and elevate them, demonstrating the power of collective action and compassion.

Creative Process & Insights
I began with a specific plan, yet as the creation unfolded, the chair took on a life of its own. The final piece differed from my initial vision, evolving into what it was destined to be. It's a reminder that God's designs far surpass our own.
