STOP THE WAR, altered sign on a rural road in Valencia

A spontaneous pacifist intervention in a Valencia village: someone added "THE WAR" with spray paint to a STOP sign, turning a piece of road signage into a silent cry against war. The tilted sign, the fields in the background, the power lines and an overcast sky compose a sober atmosphere where the global breaks into the local. A direct message that transforms the everyday into symbol, with the visual impact and simplicity that defines the best documentary photography.
