A symbol of abundance. Or often over-looked durability. Textured layers of peeling paint and rust. Exposing neglect and abandonment. In terms of mixing text and art: fire hydrants are Shakespearean Ophelias drowning among burgeoning flowers and blossoming weeds. Or they transform to Christo-like images, objects of progress and industry, bundled in plastic and tape—a tightly wrapped mummy ready to be interred in his tomb.

In their own right, hydrants stand as unique, diverse creatures presented with a multitude of shapes and colors. They appear as miniature Buddhas, a figure of meditation and individualism, a figure locked in contemplation of the Universe as the slow landscape covers over their presence.
