"One and Three Chairs"

"One and Three Chairs" is a philosophical artwork illustrating the complexity of language and meaning. It features three representations: an actual chair, a picture of a chair, and a word “chair.” The piece prompts viewers to consider how these different forms relate and how language symbolizes reality. It highlights that words and images are merely representations, which can lead to questions about how accurately they reflect the true object or concept. The work encourages reflection on the nature of perception, the limits of language, and how meaning is constructed through different signs and symbols.
