The tap, a symbol of transformation, sucks in the logo as if liquefying its meaning, returning it in a drop that merges status and art.
The work reflects on the fluidity of contemporary value, where the boundary between commercial symbol and artistic creation dissolves into a powerful and ambiguous visual gesture.
