Curatorial note
From the curb, the spare-tire mounted rear hatch anchors the composition, giving the blue SUV a sentinel-like presence on the block. Since January 2026, this curbside object has occupied its position for the 100-day span, with a blue parcel and scattered debris foreground marking the daily trace of neglect and attention. This piece anchors the neighborhood’s collection by recording the durability of ordinary objects in situ.
