Curatorial note

The burn-scarred sedan anchors the curb at a fenced lot in North Philadelphia. Its windows are missing, and the charred exterior runs along the roof and doors, with uneven blistering that has darkened the metal. Since February 2026, the work has occupied this site within the cityscape, its presence shaping the edge between public space and private boundary.
