'City Detour' showcases an ongoing series of altered discarded road signs collected from Melbourne CBD. The act of finding and reimagining them is central to the artist’s creative process. These objects, with their characteristic yellow reflective surface and original purpose, inspire alternative interpretations.
In the gallery, viewers are invited to rediscover these signs through interaction: by illuminating them with a torch or exploring various angles and perspectives. Originally perceived as mundane and restrictive, road signs are transformed to provoke reflection on our urban environment. Through their metamorphosis into art, viewers encounter these everyday objects in a new, charismatic light, encouraging curiosity and reevaluation of their meanings and messages.
