🔮 STREET SEMIOTICS

Street Semiotics is an in-depth collection of street photography folios critically examining the symbolic dimensions of urban environments. This project investigates how meaning is produced through the signs and symbols embedded in everyday city life, employing visual tropes that center on behavior, physical manifestations, themes, patterns, and ideas. Grounded in semiotic theory, Street Semiotics invites viewers to interpret and decode the cultural and psychological motifs that saturate the urban landscape. By capturing moments that reflect deeper social and symbolic constructs, the project highlights how these signs shape our understanding of contemporary human behavior, identity, and collective consciousness. At times humorous, confrontational, or even grotesque, Street Semiotics challenges viewers to question what is and isn’t taboo—or acceptable—in public spaces. It questions who gets to determine what or whom is appropriate to visualize, how these decisions are made and perceived, and how boundaries surrounding these notions shift according to individual ethics and cultural contexts. Moreover, the project encourages a reevaluation of assumptions about intent, the realities captured, and the limitations of photography as a medium that isolates moments from their broader context. Through this exploration, Street Semiotics offers a critical reflection on how meaning is both produced and interpreted within the visual and social fabric of urban life.
