It’s an intense, sensitive and empathic action during which a daily task, as bread making, is brought to the extreme, and each part of the body, each pore of the skin, makes contact with the flour.

The action requires direct contact with the audience since it becomes part of the action.
Creation, birth, maternity, sacrifice, bread with its profane and sacred symbolism, symbol of spirituality, passion, and fertility at the same time.

The bread makes contrast with the public space, since it’s usually associated with private space. The public bread is the bread of wartime, when it’s rationed due to scarcity and poverty.
