Based on the motif of a construction vehicle installed for restoration in Saint Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, I created a collection of three small pieces with the theme of the difference that exists between the solemnity of the church that continues to be restored and the faith of the people.

It is framed in a triplet purchased at an antique market, and is composed in imitation of the style of an altarpiece.

Garbage such as supermarket receipts and trays of sweets discharged in daily life are used for the support of the painting, and drew the scenery inside the church on top of it to create a contrast between the sacred and the profane.
