Viewed from above, three vehicle forms converge at a compressed red center. Yellow, orange, and gray diagonals extend beyond the encounter, while a pale curve separates the right edge. The elevated viewpoint turns the street into a field of intersecting forces.
Micah Dukes, 29, was a back-seat passenger in the crash at Central and Gates avenues. Prosecutors said the driver was fleeing police and went through a red light; she later died. Her presence in the record gives the image’s abstract geometry a consequence beyond its formal balance.

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.
Each image is a unique print, numbered 1/1. No second print of this specific image will be made.
