This article considers the concept of silence in visual representations of the particular case of the Tequendama Falls in Colombia. The text highlights the way that, in images of the Tequendama, the roaring sound is represented through aesthetic and formal decisions that compensate for the noise and bring silence to the surface as part of the contemplative act of the observer of the work of art.
