S.O.S. is the Morse code representation of the signal for immediate assistance. It has been given several meanings, including “Save Our Souls.” This is the message conveyed by this series of three scarabs, inspired by ancient Egyptian amulets. Beneath their smooth bases, the pharaohs had hieroglyphs inscribed to extol the virtues of their reign, then sent them to the four corners of the empire. Here, a typographic reinterpretation uses the acronym as the title, like a distress call for these once-sacred animals.
