The artist is a community servant with a mission to save the world. Everything must be a declaration of love in one way or another, but some mornings you get up, eat your breakfast and ask yourself “who the hell am I trying to impress?” The project consisted of eighty traffic signs that I painted and altered throughout Sweden. My thought was that people should come strolling along and like a ray of light, be surprised by an unexpected street sign displaying a man in a rocket or a pedestrian with wings. The ones that haven’t yet been discovered by the highway department are still standing.
