A compilation of images that portray criminal activity and violence, taken from the sensationalist newspaper El Gráfico, are veiled by a layer of black gouache, with the intention that the paint will gradually fade away from the sealed newspaper surface as it is handled over time, thereby unveiling the perturbing content once again.
