Curatorial note
Seen at the curb, the Ford Fusion’s dented rear panel anchors the composition and marks the edge of the street’s everyday life. Since January 2026, this piece has occupied the Orthodox Street curb, its presence paired with curbside clutter and passing traffic. Among the North Philadelphia collection, it stands as a patient document of unattended mobility and the way ordinary objects accumulate in plain sight, resisting resolution while preserving a precise moment in place.
