Happy Holidays, Kingman, Arizona, 2009

This is the door of a toy shop that shut down just after the Christmas shopping season. Someone has used paint to cover the once cheerful slogan and a gesturing Santa. I converted the image to black and white to abstract it and make it more symbolic of a grim situation. The no-smoking symbol remains as well – its red circle now gray. It becomes a symbol that, for the time being at least, has lost its function.
