The fabrics worn, old scraps of clothing still "occupied" by their former owners become dolls in strange, embryos of a small nation of zoomorphic or anthropomorphic beings, whose expressions sometimes terrifying seek only to eliminate fear.
Its facilities, "mandala" of miscellaneous objects, assemble small "treasures" of children, flowers, insects, ends of bones, skulls of wild animals, teeth.
