Signs of the Times | 2010-Present | Road Sign 32x32 Limited Edition Archival Prints.

Signs of the Times: On the Road of Human History

These series of Road Signs serve as a Historical record of pivotal Global World events, utilizing universally recognizable visual language of  Graphic Icons and Symbols. By applying these characteristics towards depiction of the major historical event, I attempt to establish a broader pattern of the human nature regardless of the country or continent. Reinforcing the concept of our general interconnectivity and similarity, I apply the technique of repetition, by utilizing these icons and symbols and arranging them in their own unique context.

Keeping true to the purpose of signs, they are both, informational and warning devices, indicating who we are in the present and where we are headed. In these series, history truly has a way of repeating itself, albeit under different flags or set of circumstances.
