A meditation on the contribution of bakers to our survival and offering thanks to the knowledge that they sustain each day through flour, water, salt, and yeast. Over 200 ceramic pieces cohere and break apart into various stupas and altar offerings based on their tools of production. The work is divided into a large altar and several stand-alone sculptures.
