We’ve all seen our own interpretation of the “walking man”, or “walking person” at traffic lights, while crossing the street.
The illuminated person flashes to tell you it’s your time to cross the street, of course. But have you thought about how those figures differ around the world?
Artist Maya Barkai has, and has assembled them into a fascinating and charming series entitled Walking Men Worldwide.
From Warsaw to Singapore to Cape Town to Andorra and Sydney, we love the unique characteristics of the figures, which range from abstracted to delightfully distinct, like Tokyo’s fedora-wearing man.
Check out more of the collection below. Do you have a favorite?
Posters are available on Maya Barkai’s website.
