Oratory with mirror-lined interior, white plush base and proposition rug. The work is not the object itself, but the participatory performance of kneeling down and making a promise to itself. It was created from conversations with Jandira after visiting the Itamaraty Palace when they had an experience with the conservative ambassador who, while speaking reactionary things, always said he prayed in one of the palace's pieces: a huge oratory with a Our Lady.
