Sign-making series

Since 2012 the studio has been collecting old common sundry products still found in little shops, as a study into a vernacular graphic language. The design on these items are abstracted to highlight the basic elements. Painted on salvaged wood, each sign is a play of how imagery, languages and symbols cumulate to local context, nostalgia, uniquely identifiable to us in this region.
