Exploded features a deconstructed wooden chair encased in clear acrylic containers. The parts are loose in their compartments, allowing them to shift when the chair is moved, creating an illusion of movement while staying in place. The chair is structural, but the acrylic provides the support. The project emphasizes both the joinery of its individual parts and the form as a functional whole, embodying a state of both connection and disconnection. The title is a reference to exploded view diagrams.
