(R)egal I is a container of containers. Overall the work stresses the sculptural problematic of mobility and stillness (A sketch of the sculpture of crucifixion of Anton Hannak and the sculpture of the Walking Man by Fritz Wortuba are alluded to). It is through limits and structures of containers that movement finds its way from space to space. Overall, the work refers to the habitat of animals that live in modern cities (Cats, dogs, mice, rats). For example it shows the holes made by rats who ate and passed through a box of powdered milk. Among other things, the work focuses on the mobility of containers and their contents (a can of Russian squid) and establishes parallels with a postacrd of Saint Francis preaching to the wolf and other of a Giotto painting where San Francis talks to the birds.

In Madrid, the construction sector has a strong presence, transforming the city into an authentic field of manufacturing operations. It is not unusual to find the streets marked and stained with building sand or plaster from a truck or construction site. On this occasion, plaster was emptied onto the street, and left there so the vehicles would trace a drawing corresponding to the journeys made.
