Curatorial note
From the curb, the bright yellow wheel chock anchors the composition, emphasizing the wheel's absence and the vehicle's inert stance. Since its acquisition in January 2026, the piece has occupied this curb edge, inviting daily, unremarked attention from pedestrians and motorists alike. The red SUV and the surrounding brick row houses place the work within a recognizable Philadelphia streetscape, where ordinary objects become visible through absence.
