The liquid soap base was poured into embossed moulds and left to cure.

Over the course of 3 days, 83 messages were collected. They were submerged in glycerine soap base. Gradually, the ink dispersed into the liquid.

Instead, many paid and immediately removed the soap from the display. The work began to alter itself through participation, gradually disappearing over the final days of the exhibition.
