Il significato di quest'opera non potrebbe essere più chiaro a chi parla inglese. Aj Roi used a real STOP sign to write a warning that he believes is very important: "STOP trying to impress people you don't care about".


The artist wants to share this cornerstone of his way of thinking with the whole world. He believes that the judgment - of people who are unimportant to us - should be equally unimportant.


Forcing ourselves to behave or appear to meet other people's expectations is impossible and harmful to us because, WHATEVER we do or say will make a certain number of people unhappy/angry/displeased.


Stop buying those expensive clothes just to impress people on the street. Stop buying the latest model car to make your neighbor jealous. Stop wanting to graduate in a specialization you don't like just because you want to show your middle school teacher that she was wrong about you.


Precisely to subliminally give greater strength to the concept, the artist chose to ruin the sign, and to use completely spontaneous writing, far from forcing and the attempt to adapt to aesthetic canons.
