Each sign is presented in extreme detail, capturing every word, mark, fold, and stain, which are remnants of experience. However, we know nothing about the people who wrote on these discarded pieces of material; their story remains a mystery. All that's left is the material itself, a receipt of a transaction.
The cardboard was initially produced, purchased, folded, and branded for its original purpose, most likely for transporting a product. After its initial use, it was discarded as trash. At some point, it was discovered, and a story or slogan was written on its side, serving as an advertisement for despair or sympathy. Then it was purchased once more, but now it's a photograph, altering both its meaning and value.
