Curatorial note

Seen at the Market Street intersection, the orange cone with a green band lies on its side near a snow pile beside a small kiosk. Acquired February 2026, the work occupies the Center City curb as a quiet register of ongoing municipal projects and weather-driven accumulations. The composition foregrounds a moment of urban maintenance waiting, inviting careful attention to the ordinary objects that stage the city's routine labor.
