When I first started the Empty Signs project in 2018, I didn’t overthink it; there is an abundance of them where I live, so I decided to make a series. After I had finished, an additional meaning became more clear to me. I feel as if it shows viewers all of the places that once had names. Everything from fast food restaurants, sporting good stores, and hotels are all just forgotten. The signs are giant decaying monuments which shows the crumbling of capitalism in America.
