Title: This Place is Not a Place of Honor

Background:
This piece is an experimental and thematic exercise. I was inspired by the challenges that
designers faced in the 90s of trying to make a "universal" warning sign that could be placed on nuclear waste sites. Whatever they made would have to endure and be understood as a "Keep Out!" sign for anyone who approached it after thousands of years (no matter their culture, language, or level of technology). I wanted to capture the feeling of approaching and entering such a place.
