A series of miniature characters, conceived as a contemporary re-reading of the figures of the popular nativity scene, carry loads from one place to another: paper and plastic bags, cardboard boxes, water cans, shopping trolleys, rucksacks…. These figures wander alongside a pile of fragments of broken plates, bowls and casseroles, elements that refer to everyday life and that can no longer fulfill their function because they silently point to a disaster.
Plaster figures, fragments of earthenware and terracotta. Variable measurements.
