Si

Either on road signs, gates, walls, on the road or on other surfaces, the warning signs allways forbid something and contain words like "no" and "forbidden". You almost can`t find any positive signs, optimistic in a certain way, that encourage you to do something.
The project "Yes" was about adding the written permision, next to the interdiction located on a rock on El Confital beach, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
Written at the same hight with the same colours, Yes and No together, are now confusing for whoever is seeing them and asks himself which one to follow. Of course, with no other specification next to them, about what is permitted and what is allowed, the imagination of the viewer can be very vaste.
