Curatorial note
Seen at 209 N 4th St, this work registers as a curbside surface interrupted by water-filled depressions in the asphalt. The arrangement of a green door and a window with a red-white-blue motif anchors the piece within a narrow commercial strip, while the muddy pools invite attention to material endurance. Acquired January 2026 and on view for 111 days, the work stands as a patient record of municipal time and street-level exposure in Old City.
