Understanding the method behind the work is fundamental in grasping the significance of the latter. The work method was founded on a succession of ordered steps that followed an unforeseeable course.

During the first stage, the artist took two small collages as a model (21 × 14 cm) and made a painting of each of them. He then recorded them photographically. The resulting enlarged developed prints and the archive images used for the two initial small collages served as material to make the first two collages in this series. When these collages were finished, the two previous paintings were destroyed with a chemical solvent and the damaged outcomes were photographically recorded.

During the second stage, a third collage was made using the large photographic prints of the initial two collages and the photographs of the solvent-damaged paintings. A photograph was taken of this third collage, and the print of it and leftover printed material from the previous collages served to make the next work in the series. The photograph of the latter was used with any leftovers from previous works to make the next one, and so on, in a process whose end is only dependent on the total disappearance of all the leftovers used as raw materials for each new collage.

Piece of Trash is a eulogy to leftovers and to the equivocal as opposed to the unequivocal.
