The lexicon of the badge is specific, and short. The words themselves are also short, sculpted to convey maximum meaning in minimum space. The work BanStopSaveFightSolve uses the didactic language from badges - borrowing from it five words that have had broad cultural significance (Ban the Bomb and Save the Whale are but two examples) - to interrogate how meaning is conveyed through this format. Pleasantries are dispensed with, as is nuance or subtlety, when a sensitive issue is boiled down to an abrupt word-symbol. The meaning is thus re-sized, not for the benefit of the message, but to be appropriate for wear.
