Montoya's installation features twelve house-like structures, a mix of stark black and one white, evoking themes of homeownership and economic significance in a unique, artistic form.
The black buildings contrast the lush gardens, while the white house within the museum, made of white chocolate, serves to beckon visitors inside and connects with ancient history.
The houses, inspired by Monopoly game's pieces, reflect Montoya's historical and economic critiques, symbolizing wealth accumulation and the duality of valuable commodities like coal and cacao.
By crafting structures mainly from coal dust, Montoya juxtaposes starkness with nature, contrasting the artistic expression of life against the backdrop of a historical sarcophagus.
