Wheel in Rust, Curbside — South Philadelphia

Curatorial note

Seen at the curb along South Philadelphia, the rusting wheel anchors the composition and marks time in the street tableau. Acquired January 2026, the work has occupied this curbside stance for 113 days, a quiet register of material aging in situ. By elevating a common, inanimate object into a sustained urban presence, the piece foregrounds infrastructure as a durable feature of the city rather than a passing condition.
