What do cars hear? What do they remember?
Another U.S. tour. Another stretch of Route 66, where the road hums with the echoes of a thousand lost stories. Cadillac Ranch—a place where art, decay, and time collide.
The air is thick with the scent of spray paint and desert dust. The Cadillacs stand half-buried, nose-down in the earth, their bodies layered in decades of graffiti, love notes, and rebellion. Once polished symbols of the American Dream, now they wear the weight of time—stripped, painted over, reclaimed.
They are no longer the sleek machines that rolled off the line in the ‘40s, ‘50s, or ‘60s. They have been transformed by people, by memory, by every passerby who felt the need to leave a mark. Some messages are loud, others already fading, but all of them are part of the story.
And isn’t that how time works? We collect layers. We are shaped by where we’ve been, who we’ve met, what we’ve survived. We get worn down, marked up, reshaped. But beneath it all, something beautiful remains—something real.
This painting captures that story. Not just a Cadillac. Not just a landmark. But a monument to time itself.
