In my poem Ch(loveisinthe)air, which I made whilst sitting in a chair btw, I explore the way we use the word sitting (zitten) in dutch in our language. “Sitting” and “the Chair” go hand in hand and we use the word sitting (zitten) quite regularly in our language even when we don’t literally mean sitting on an object. 

I’ve always had a connection with words and how we use them in our language. I love exploring variations of words, different meanings of the same word and making word “pun’s”.  

In this poem our background cha(i)racter “the chair” is a part of the story without being the center of attention. But is still a much-needed character of the story, because without it being there the story wouldn’t happen the same way. 

This representation of a chair I think suits the role it has in our daily lives.  The poem exists of my take on a love story (which involves sitting down next to a loved one). And the doubts one can have within life/love and how they can wash away when we’re sitting down (on a chair) and talking to our loved ones.
