Curatorial note

Seen in the photograph, a white metal post lies diagonally across the sidewalk near the curb, its base plate with bolts exposed where it meets the concrete. Since its acquisition in December 2025, the work occupies the street-edge of Cedar Park, a quiet register of municipal infrastructure. Placed alongside the rhythm of parked cars and overhead cables, it foregrounds the physical fragility and stubborn persistence of the urban edge.
