Curatorial note
Seen in the foreground, a cluster of red and green gas cylinders anchors the frame. Piles of garbage bags, cardboard, and pallets recede toward a narrow alley behind the orange-brick facade, where a worker attends to equipment beside stacked pallets. Since its acquisition in January 2026, the work has occupied its corner of Cherry Street, registering the daily cycles of containment, disposal, and access that define urban backyards.
