The artist made this performance on the street, where a beggar lay. The action was to take off his pants and give it to that character, but with the intention of being at the ankles to hinder their walking, turning the subject into a manipulable object conditioned to obey for the gift. Comment about altruism, when an action disguised as good intentions, but actually serves a particular internes.

Year
This piece is divided into two parts, the first, The Harvest, are the hands of the artist tirelessly collecting bones of a field of roses.
