It is something you pass by every day while out on the street, either driving or walking, but that you don’t give a second glance to. But for Hong Kong artist Clara Cheung, road signs hold deeper meaning. They are vital to the exploration of a new city and understanding its culture. “Although road signs nowadays have become the universal language in urban space, different cities often have their road signs differ in small details. I find this difference very interesting, for it actually represents that country’s cultural identity,” says Cheung.
