Only

Only. 2019.

A single “right turn only” sign becomes the focal point of this quiet city wall. The metallic vents and patterned concrete give the scene a strict grid, while the soft tree shadows and slanting light loosen it just enough to feel human. The road sits in deep shade at the bottom of the frame, suggesting movement without actually showing any traffic. It is an image about directions and instructions, but also about the calm that exists when nothing is obeying them yet.
