Curatorial note
Seen from the curb, the green To 3rd Street sign anchors the composition while a white van sits in the lower center and a queue of parked cars recedes along the block. Since January 2026 the work has occupied this curbside vantage, recording the tempo of everyday mobility at a single intersection. Among the collection of works that treat street life as form, this piece preserves the ordinary choreography of signage, signal, and vehicle line at a South Philadelphia cross street.
