I started to combine street signs with branding and other well known logos that we encounter on a regular basis. I looked a lot at religious iconography that has a powerful meaning. these icons are often seen as representing certain values and can serve as a reminder to adhere to these beliefs.
I have replaced the halo in this commonly used image of The Virgin Mary with a street sign to draw a comparison with the authority they represent. They are both representations of a set of rules to live life by whether applied by a government or religious belief.
I looked at imagery from stained glass windows once again adding in a street sign crossing out the sun. the sun is one of the universal symbols that all cultures around the world and often appears in religious or cultural imagery. I want to find out if there are any symbols or images that are common to all religions. I would like to experiment with other symbols that we encounter in everyday life.
