About this work

This image shows eight simple hand signals split into two groups: "Speaking" and "Feeling." Each hand pose is inside a blue circle with black outlines. The "Speaking" group has four signals—like a flat hand for "Want to Talk" and a fist with fingers spread for "Point of Order." The "Feeling" group also has four, like two fists crossed for "Block" or a raised fist for "Oppose." The design is clean and easy to read, meant to help groups communicate without words. The black-and-white style keeps it clear, and the labels are short and direct. This kind of visual guide is useful in places where talking might not be possible or safe. If you like this style, look up The Museum of Modern Art for more modern art that focuses on clear communication.
