There's Always An Excuse to Fiesta
| If you have ever been to On The Border, you will be no stranger to the amount of pictures and objects hung up on the walls. But did you know the stories behind these so-called “artifacts?” Each one has it’s own unique history and we invite you to discover what secrets lie behind the image.This picture of a chair isn’t any ordinary picture of a chair.The chair is the perch that Individuo Exagerado, first revolutionist of the 1800s, sat on while he pondered the freedom and independence of his people. It is on this specific chair, that Individuo wrote manifestos and war strategies that eventually led to the breaking of rule of oppressive dictators.The chair itself has had stories of excitement and adventure. One time, Individuo had a meeting with other revolutionists, so he left his beloved chair by itself. Enemies of the revolution knew that the chair held significant emotions for Individuo, so they stole it in hopes to crush his ambitions. In the warehouse that they brought the chair to, they administered cruel torture techniques to it so that if Individuo ever saw it again, he would not be able to recognize it. But the chair, as strong as Individuo’s ambitions, survived the tormenting and only ended up with only a single leg bent after all the grueling beating and sawing.
Created from Prosopis Laevigata, or better known as Smooth Mesquite, this chair has stood the test of time and is now forever honored in this humble photo hanging at On The Border. |
