The piece relies on the logic of the dialectical relationship between presences and absences. The discourse is articulated by sound sections interleaved with separating silences, in which the potentiality of the sound is projected on the canvas and the path to reach that moment is evoked. Those silences, due to its position in the structure, are always different from the rest. The sound fragments expand and contract, in correspondence with the formal characteristics of their particles that -among their variables- burst like attacks, notes held, cut, or interrupted.Graffito evokes the dispute over a place, in which some wills struggle to leave marks and others to erase them. In this way a wall of successive layers is built. It flakes and allows the observer to notice various textures, colors, materials. Perceiving the marks of the history of that space also allows to contemplate the continuous attempts of its suppression.
