Curatorial note

From its ceiling hole, the exposed joists frame the interior and mark the room's threshold. The vertical water-streaks create a quiet rhythm that contrasts with the door's rectilinear geometry. Acquired January 2026 and on view for 97 days, the piece remains a precise documentation of a Durfor Street interior in flux.
