Curatorial note
Seen from the windshield, the rear emblem of a Lexus anchors the frame as a row of parked cars and hedged houses recede along a damp Arlington Street. Since its acquisition in January 2026, the work has occupied this curbside location as a quiet register of long-standing street life on Arlington Street. The subdued palette and durational presence emphasize the persistence of ordinary urban form rather than its resolution.
