Description: Image burned into a flour tortilla is of a crucifix. "While heating tortillas one day the phone rang and José went to answer it. When he returned he found a burnt tortilla with an image he could manipulate. His hunger went away when he began burning more tortillas and creating more images, through manipulating the tortillas and the heat and heat sources. Tortillas were burned & the image embellished with red-hot wire."
