Curbside Vigil, Erie Avenue — North Philadelphia
Automotive, stationary, front-end deformation, snow cover
Police Department, est. 2026
100 days on view
Curatorial note
From the curb, the front-left fender exhibits a pronounced deformation with torn metal and exposed rust, set against a light snow dusting on the hood. Since January 2026, this curbside object has occupied its position for 100 days, anchoring the block in the street's daily routine. The piece foregrounds endurance within the North Philadelphia streetscape, where a line of parked vehicles and nearby storefronts give the work its context.
