Inspired by the classic fire hydrants found on the sidewalks of many U.S. cities, this piece stands out for its visible wear, cracked paint, and the small chains that accompany it — details that evoke the passage of time and everyday use. These elements give character to an object that, though common, often goes unnoticed.

Through scale and framing, the hydrant ceases to be just a piece of urban infrastructure and becomes a representation of order, safety, and the collective memory that lives on every street corner.
