Signs of the Times presents a landscape (or world) divided by a deep chasm, where natural terrain meets urban intrusion. A bold red arrow arcs sharply from the corner, guiding the eye toward an orange billboard emblazoned with the word "LOANS" in white against a purple field—a stark symbol of the financial burden often placed on everyday people. Nearby, a vertical blue sign announces "HI LO MOTEL," with "SOUP KITCHEN" noted below in smaller letters, highlighting the fragile intersection between temporary refuge and basic survival. Rising above the gap, a reflective skyscraper labeled "BOUND INC" looms as a symbol of corporate power and wealth, casting a shadow over the fractured landscape below. The floating eye in the sky represents pervasive economic surveillance, watching over a divided society where opportunity and hardship exist side by side. Through vivid color and deliberate symbolism, the painting probes the harsh realities of social inequity and economic stratification that marginalize many while empowering a few.
