Curatorial note

Seen through a window screen, a white van sits on a snow-dusted street, its silhouette softened by daylight. Since its acquisition, the work has accrued a quiet, longitudinal presence along the curb, turning a routine parked vehicle into a studied monument. The form anchors the edge of the frame where porch columns meet the street, inviting attention to the everyday duration of municipal life.
