Cipher District | Glyphs & Ciphers

Story
A dense district of marks unfolds like a coded street plan—sunburst, fish, arrows, and small figures held inside a hard-edged grid. The symbols read as signage without captions, suggesting a place where meaning is carried by direction, repetition, and pause.

Design
Thick, controlled pathways are cut into powder coated metal, creating bold boundaries and bright “windows” of negative space. The floating standoff mount sharpens the geometry into layered shadow lines, letting the wall become part of the composition.

Curator’s Note
Glyph-like motifs often function as a visual shorthand for memory, wayfinding, and private language. The grid structure implies order, while the irregular icons keep the system human—an organized code that still leaves room for interpretation.
