"Every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death."
The series sets two faces of the Sabbath against each other. On one side stands its theology of reward and punishment: paradise for those who keep it, fire and death for those who desecrate it. On the other stands the material culture the Sabbath produces for itself: a market of luxury disposables, plastic cast as porcelain, crystal and silver, made for a single day of the week. Here sanctity is not only commanded but manufactured, and its most elaborate objects are designed from the outset to be discarded.
