The Authority of Small Things

 

A post.

A traffic sign.

A white line on asphalt.

Small objects, placed almost casually — and yet they determine how we look, where we walk and when we stop.

 

In this series, banal signs are elevated to protagonists.

They mark boundaries, direct movement, speak without a voice.

Their presence is quiet, yet unmistakably compelling.

 

What makes us obey such silent instructions?

Is it habit? Fear? Or something deeper — a longing for order in a chaotic world?

 

The Authority of Small Things raises questions about power, obedience and meaning.

But without judgment.

The objects remain silent, as they always do.

It is we who listen.

Or not.
