Inspiration through colourful advertising and neon cityscapes and has led to a creative take on the
industrial function of coloured flags and signals that direct travel of trains, planes and ships, known
as semaphores. Lucas harnesses this communicative function to explain new kinds of urban
consciousness via constellations of arresting, bright colours and geometric patterns.
