The project Plebeian Throne aims to preserve fleeting moments of nothingness as artifacts for discussion. Nothingness is a departure from a Western, industrialised standardisation of life, set up by previous generations.

The project questions if it is possible to cultivate nothingness and asks who deserves to sit on a throne and why certain people are given absolute reign of power. In a society where money equates to power, plebeians, labourers in capitalist modes of production, are negated self-sufficiency. In this male-centred system of exploitation, the home is (still) a site of female sacrifice.

Historically, weaving has been linked to femininity, often overlooked and taken for granted. Plebeian Throne uses weaving to amplify subversive protest against capitalism. The throne creates a transformative space for reflection, intentionally constructed as an enthymeme to create a withholding performance. Observers unknowingly become part of a protest which includes no protestors. Observing, standing still, doing nothing. This project is a mass moment of stillness as an attempt to transfer wealth and power back to the plebeian.
