More information
The work contextualizes an ephemeral, anonymous graffiti message found in the streets of Lisbon, transposing it into the enduring medium of neon, an act that both subverts and preserves its transient essence. By crystallizing an otherwise easily dilatable urban inscription, the piece captures a moment of spontaneous expression, suspending it in a luminous, perpetual state that resists erasure. This transformation imbues the message with a paradoxical duality, amplifying its presence while simultaneously altering its raw, insurgent nature. Merging with irony and subversion, the work challenges the instability of contemporary discourse, positioning itself at the intersection of resistance and uncertainty. Its permanent glow does not merely illuminate the original feeling but complicates its meaning, inviting a multiplicity of interpretations that include defiance, ambiguity and the precariousness of the future. Through this interplay, the piece challenges the boundaries between perpetuity and impermanence, visibility and erasure, questioning and certainty.
