"Waiting Chair" is a response to the physical and social limitations of public seating. The standardization of seating design identifies cultural deviance by highlighting body difference and subsequent incompatibility. Through physical and emotional discomfort, a fat person is conditioned to avoid experiences that remind them that their nonconforming existence is unacceptable, ultimately erasing their engagement with public spaces. "Waiting Chair" subverts the traditional voyeuristic position afforded to viewers and, instead, prioritizes the vantage point of its user. A more equitable relationship is possible by the chair's obstruction of the sitter's body, allowing visibility of the body only when the viewer is positioned within direct frontal gaze of the sitter. The formal qualities of the piece serve to make apparent its structural integrity, imitating for fat people what is normal and common for non-fat people - sitting in a chair without consideration for comfort and social stigma.
