Taxi Sign Language
“Taxi Sign Language” is an exploration of the similarities between taxi hand signs and South African Sign Language. The taxi rank in different destinations along with the distinctive mini-bus taxis are mapped out at an urban scale of 1/1000 exploring the contextual differences though building typologies, demographic of users, population density, architecture, urban planning, layout of road infrastructure and so on.

The fridges were exhibited during the Art Week Joburg 2014 (19-24 August 2014) and at the Museum of African Design (MOAD) as part of Grolsch’s marketing campaign and corporate investments in local artists.
