Semiotics

Semiotics means 'the study of signs' more preciously visual signs.

In this Photography, they are different signs like the skull who is smoking showing the death, but also all the different packs of cigarettes are signs in the final photography.

In Art in general, as if its for  artworks or  photographies each person interprets the work as their own signs but every details has a rules.
