Curatorial note

Seen in the photograph, turquoise residue threads through granular ice across the roadway, interrupted by two straight metal rods. The curb at 1019 N 5th St anchors the work in North Philadelphia’s streetscape. Since its acquisition in February 2026, the piece has persisted as a durable trace of winter residue on this curb edge.
