Capilla para el Tio

The project is a shrine to Tio, and will serve as a place the miners can leave gifts for the devil so he does not harm the men working in the mountain.

Location: Potosi, Bolivia

 The project was extremely demanding and dangerous.  
No work could be done while the miners were inside of the mountain, for extra people would have impeded the narrow passageways.  That left the only possible time to build the shrine  during the evening –  when the temperature dropped severely, never mind the location being at an altitude on 4200 meters.
