In front of a mirror, the artist inverts her own image, but it is not a top down view, it is blindness instead of vision. Letícia, like a woman who prepares her makeup before going out, carefully tends to every part of her face. First, she sticks an adhesive tape on her mouth and then outlines the lips on top. Then, she repeats the procedure on the eyes. The drawing on the patch recreates what it hides. Without speech or vision, the woman keeps on fixing her hair and then fixes her wide-open constructed eye and leaves the bathroom.
