Curatorial note

Seen in the photograph, a small bright green fragment rests in a shallow puddle near the curb, punctuating the wet surface with color. The tram rails crossing the street bisect the frame, rendering the intersection as a measured composition of line and texture. Since acquisition in February 2026, the work has occupied the College Avenue corner in West Philadelphia, preserving the slow rhythm of street markings as a formal presence.
