Stop Coming (on the wall) Twice


2025
stop signs mounted on wall
each 22 x 22 in

Two ready-made stop signs are mounted upside down in reference to the tradition of hanging the Chinese character for fortune, 福(fú), upside down during Chinese New Year. In Mandarin, the words for ‘inverted’ and ‘to come’ are homophones; creating a symbolic gesture for fortune to come.

The title of the work is a direct translation of the objects.


that is all.
