A silver vehicle occupies the upper right, its grille and hood broken into angular passages of white, black, and red. Dark blue bars cross the square around it. Two thick yellow strokes cut through the foreground, passing over a burgundy cluster and disturbing the grid’s measured intervals.
Wahid Miah, 75, was walking home from mosque when a driver turning left in a BMW SUV struck him at White Plains Road and Wood Avenue. He died. Official records say he crossed with the signal. The painted grid and its interruptions hold the encounter in a tense, compressed space.

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.
