This detailed, top-view illustration that honors the traditional craft of making "Saj" bread- an age old ritual woven with care, rhythm, and heritage. Rendered delicately in watercolors and ink, the circular composition mirrors the iconic shape of the Saj itself, the round iron surface on which the bread is baked. Women are shown in harmony-each engaged in a different stage of the bread making journey. From the cultivation and grinding of wheat to the mixing of water and flour, kneading, shaping and finally baking, every gesture s lovingly captured. The circular form not only reflects he physical structure of the Saj, but also symbolizes the continuity, unity and warmth shared across generations. This piece is a visual ode to labor, tradition, and the unseen love that transforms wheat into nourishment, soulfully echoing its title.
