sure any symbol is an expression of something beyond the self and can be art. But it does depend on definition. A stop sign is a symbol but not necicarily art because the dominant definition of that symbol is one of utilitarianism which is not transcendance but acknowledgment of a neccesity for order. A stop sign is not generally created for its value "in and of itself" but by re-labeling it through an artistic lens, a stop sign can become a reflection on the frustrating nececity or banality of order, or any other countless things.
