Curatorial note
From the foreground, the circular manhole cover anchors the surface as a patch of dark asphalt records wear across the lane. The patch is framed by a white SUV on the left and a red fire hydrant near the curb, situating the work within the Olney streetscape. Acquired January 2026 from the Streets Department, this surface study sustains a durable register of the block’s remediation history.
