It´s unimportant developes the concept of still life. 
This work is building from both the image (xenia*) and the rhopography*. The still life is full of allusions to the ephemeral or vanity, without neglecting the stillness and interior space.
Still life appears in the work of Sara Garcia because the isolation of the visual field that produces and how it defamiliarizes the way of looking. With it, the rhopography describes the insignificant, the unimportant thing, the unseen and unnoticed, the void, and also refers to the mundane. 

Since it is through the details, when we are able to see what cannot be seen or what we conceal. It's unimportant, forces us to look down, means certain humiliation of the attention. Because the attention stops, here, at the humble.

*"... The Romans had a pictorial category very similar to what would later be called" still life ": Xenia"

*Rhopography refers to the Greek word rhopos, meaning trivial objects, small wares, trifles
