Curatorial note
Seen in a white-paneled interior, the work centers a black vinyl-covered seating area that holds a language of spill and tissue. The white tissue resting on the surface and the dark liquid pooling create a stark contrast that converts a domestic moment into a quiet record of duration. Acquired January 2026, the piece has occupied this interior for 94 days, persisting as a steady element within the neighborhood’s public record.
