Proposal
In our contemporary time, buildings covered in plywood have a language all their own. Whether it be to denote preparation for a storm, protest or vacancy, the imagery of plywood as shield is ever present. This sculpture, once a bench, a place of contemplation, is now an obstacle or object of interference placed in front of a space in preparation for too many unknowns.
