Curatorial note

Seen at the curb, a leaning metal post punctuates the melt-wet surface. The puddle reflects the adjacent façade, creating a moment of mirrored stillness in the street. Acquired February 2026, the work has occupied this corner, standing as a patient record of winter maintenance and everyday wear in the neighborhood.
