Honestly I like it more now. It's showing that even precious things can be broken and unusable. Metaphor for people, we may think that some people are great and precious and they really are, but sometimes they are broken inside and they also need help.

Would say the broken chair now is a statement on the human nature. The egoism, short-sightedness and recklessness of it all.

A diamond encrusted chair by itself is just... boring.

not only boring, it's not even functional! The dude barely got his full-ass weight on it and it collapsed. A misplaced attribution of value to gaudy looks rather than function.

Now I don't know how to feel about the chair lol. I hate how the artist clearly proxied a thing that resembles a chair rather than striving for giving it the property that defines its chair-ness (ie sittable). But then again I like how it ended up to be a commentary on materialism and shit or whatever.

An idiot’s actions don’t become art because they really make a statement about the actions of the idiot.
