"Life is a dead-end street."

H. L. Mencken

Not a Good Sign is a photo series about the language of the street: signs, poles, and fragments of the city turning into characters over the concrete. What should be functional markers often feel absurd, broken, or ironic once they’re isolated by the camera.

This series continues my fascination with urban landscapes as accidental storytellers, where humor and failure leak into public space without anyone planning it.
