- "When Faith Moves Mountains is a project about geological displacement. On April 11, 2002, 500 volunteers were equipped with shovels and asked to form a single line at the foot of the 500 meter-wide dune in Ventanilla on the outskirts of Lima. This human comb pushed a certain quantity of sand a certain distance, thereby moving the dune a few inches from its original position. The physical displacement was infinitesimal, but not is metaphorical implications." --P. [14].
