The work freely takes its title from an episode narrated by Truman Capote in Padron Miseria. A photo on the wall shows the artist sliding a stick on a railing emulating the gesture of Sylvia, the protagonist of Capote's story. In the center of the room there is a beam that gives balance marked by some writings and drawings. Everything in the work seems to be aimed at celebrating the moods of adolescence, as if they contained an intimate truth to which, clumsily, as adults we turn our backs.
