The work
A red vehicle presses into the lower right corner, facing a loose circle of black and gray strokes. Most of the square remains a pale blue-gray field. Ochre passages and exposed edges interrupt its quiet surface; the small red encounter draws the eye back toward the vehicle.
Jose Hernandez, 66, died after a sedan driver struck him on Fourth Avenue in Sunset Park and left the scene. The work holds that loss within an unequal distribution of space. Its crowded corner and broad reserve sustain the tension between an event and the absence it leaves.

Painting, data, selection
The series begins with Freedman’s four oil paintings: 258 Feet from Here, 1,104 Feet from Here, 1,924 Feet from Here, and 3,504 Feet from Here. Each responds to a fatal crash near littlefield in Brooklyn, establishing a language of interrupted gestures, partial forms, color, and open space.
For each data print, another documented crash acts on that painted language: direction, movement, and relationships between people and vehicles shape the composition. Freedman uses AI in the studio to develop these translations, then vets and selects the works. From roughly 1,200 images, only a few become physical prints. Each holds one event in view, asking for sustained attention to an individual loss within the city’s larger record.
The physical work
Printed edge-to-edge at 17 × 17 inches, each giclée uses Epson pigment inks on Hahnemühle German Etching paper. The textured matte surface carries brilliant color, subtle tonal shifts, and fine detail.
Presented in a black frame with a 13/16-inch face, a 2-inch white mat and a ¼-inch silver inner mat, under non-reflective acrylic. The mat covers ⅛ inch on each edge of the image.
Each image is a unique print, numbered 1/1. No second print of this specific image will be made.
