Pan-face signs are embedded in the visual fabric of cities and outskirts alike. Popularized in the 1970s and ’80s, they were built for visibility, durability, and light—designed to catch the eyes of passing motorists. Today, they remain weathered and persistent, quietly continuing their work.

Formed through vacuum-shaped plastic, their raised, three-dimensional imagery—mechanics, eight-balls, frozen figures—repeats across towns and highways, shifting only in name and place. Yet each sign becomes unique within its environment.

Photographed over two years in and around Los Angeles and across the United States, this book is a catalog of objects often passed without a second glance—inviting a closer look.
