The pile evokes the Roman concept of the rudera, the rubble of fallen buildings repurposed as foundation for new construction, though here no new construction seems imminent. Hopper might have found loneliness in a diner window; de Chirico might have found dread in an empty piazza. This image finds something quieter still: the democracy of obsolescence.
