Curatorial note

Seen at night, the van sits at the curb along Alberta Drive, its silhouette cropped by the frame. The yellow windshield marking and the two color-coded dashboard stickers anchor the composition, signaling a record of presence rather than activity. Since acquisition in February 2026, the piece has fixed a quiet, persistent presence in the street's rhythm, inviting attention to the duration of this object's place in the public realm.
