The text in braille is constructed for a blind audience. I reconstructed part of a document referring to my personal legal data as an immigrant in the city where I reside, translating part of that information into the braille system created with water droplets. All text is constructed to access its information, but in this case, given the use of the material, it is erased by the tactile action of reading, becoming an ephemeral message. The sensation of understanding the reading is nullified by the uncertainty that the water, which is the component of the text, is the same that causes it to be erased, self-censored through the action for the recognition of the graphemes. An analogy of the immigrant who, although documented, is not visible to their surroundings on certain occasions.
