Long-Term Parked Presence, On 1680 E Cheltenham Ave — East Cheltenham
Automotive, stationary, white, rear bumper scuff

Curatorial note
Seen from the rear, the SUV's rear window is crossed by the shadow pattern of bare tree branches, turning the glass into a quiet drawing. Since acquisition in January 2026, the work has occupied the curbside at 1680 E Cheltenham Ave, anchoring the street edge in the late-day light. The whiteness of the body contrasts with the darkened undercarriage and the weathered lower panel, evidence of long-term exposure to the street. The piece remains a durable feature of the neighborhood, its presence registered by passersby as part of the everyday rhythm of the avenue.
