STOP
Stop is a series of stop signs paired with captions about the social and political issues that call for a brake. In traffic, stop signs tell us to pause and act. In 2026, there are signs that the West is heading toward a new‑age fascism. This series serves as a visual reminder that these signs deserve the same moment of reflection. At this crossroads, act and turn toward a humane future.
