This work positions the chair as a surrogate body, occupying a space of suspended presence. Surrounding bird forms operate as ambiguous witnesses, oscillating between care and observation. Light and spatial instability disrupt fixed perception, reflecting the altered bodily awareness where attention becomes continuous and unresolved, and the boundaries between self, environment, and perception begin to dissolve.
