Title: Third Watch
Location: 10-30 W North Ave
Three glowing pregnant figures atop the North Avenue Market offer a different kind of safety presence than blue light surveillance. They watch over the neighborhood with caring energy rather and suggest a future where safety comes from community care rather than policing.
