This piece is a tribute—a visual homage to the wisdom, strength, and comfort embodied by our elders. The chair, abstracted into form and texture, is more than just a seat—it is a throne, a sacred space of rest and resilience. In African American tradition, the elder’s chair carries a quiet authority, a place where stories are passed down, where generations gather, listen, and learn. The abstraction allows the essence of the chair to unfold beyond its physical structure—it becomes an emblem of comfort, a representation of ancestral presence. The warmth of history lingers in its form, speaking to those who came before, who nurtured, who held space for dreams to grow. This is more than furniture—it is legacy, a testament to the quiet power of those who sat, watched, and guided from its embrace.
