Man-made Totems?

Is anyone here working with synthetic and man-made totems? I've been getting strong feelings about Road (general, not a specific road), having worked with a lot of roadkill and car accident victims as a psychopomp it's been a presence in my life for a while now, but lately I've been receiving a stronger pull towards working with Road itself more closely. I'm not really sure how to approach it though? I've worked with animals, plants, rocks, rivers... but never something created by humans, so I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to form a relationship with Road as a totem.

Have you ever thought about working with Road as an essence rather than a totem? Shaped by the perception and interactions of those that have paved It, walked along It, crushed It, been crushed on It, etc. I mean, we all are shaped by those things, and maybe it's through our common essences that we can communicate with a spirit as abstract as Road.

It's just a thought; I've been brewing on essences lately.
