Curatorial note
Seen in the photograph, the work's long rectangular trench is filled with a dark asphalt patch, its edges irregular against the lighter street. Acquired January 2026 from the Streets Department, it has occupied its curbside site for 111 days. The patch sits at the threshold between sidewalk and roadway, a quiet, enduring mark of municipal maintenance in the streetscape.
