Tighten It Until It Tells the Truth

This thing isn’t “upcycled.” It’s evidence, strapped shut. A chair that won’t seat anyone again braces a road-sign like a bad order that’s lost its road. The tension is the point: clamps, bolts, and tape doing the work of politeness until they start to look like threats. Stand in front of it and notice how quickly your body negotiates around junk once it’s arranged to block you.
