An extensive composition is slowly revealed on the building throughout the evening, turning it into a giant canvas. The visual composition is made of graphic and abstract elements, growing on the wall as the design takes shape.

To add to the experience, the work also features an experimental sound component created using field recordings, audio looping, and digital alterations.
