As a blogger and freelancer, I spent a good deal of each day planted in a chair in front of the computer screen. Isn’t there a rule of physics that an object at still will stay at still? That is what it feels like some days. The chair is sucking me in. I’m glued to it. Before I know it, hours have gone by without moving from the seat.
Barcelona based photographer Jasmine Deporta‘s sofa safari series seems to reflect our tendency to become married to our seats. What is that about, anyway? Isn’t life so much more enjoyable when you are in motion? Like me, many of us use work as an excuse for our inertia. On the weekends, I am usually bursting to move- to get out from the cell of four walls whether that means hiking, gallery hopping or just wandering about. Seeing the world in three dimensions, away from the sofa cushions brings vibrancy to the work you do from your seat. And motivation to leave it.
How are you moving this weekend? I’m ready to go!
