A unique piece made with recycled materials: a wooden support, on which an old ruler of the same material rests. On the ends of the lever two spherical decorations for the Christmas tree, not completely intact. Why a lever? Faith is capable of wonders, of making small individuals do great works, of accomplishing the impossible. But the objects in the installation are old, and today faith is often considered outdated. The small ball lifts the larger one, but the back side, which is open, hides a secret weight. Is faith a deception, an illusion? Who knows. We certainly know that we cannot measure it.
