Curatorial note
Seen through the rear window, a network of bare branches settles as a shadowed pattern across the Jeep's silhouette. Since its acquisition in January 2026, the curbside Jeep has remained at the edge of the residential streetscape, with a stack of trash bags nearby. The work situates duration within a ordinary Philadelphia curb, turning a moment of urban persistence into a formal study of durable presence.
