“Upon my travels to different parts of our continent, I was fascinated by how the idea of bread evolves throughout Asia. Hence, the work embodies a documentation of bread from Central-Asian to South-Asian region. It follows a narrative of food culture through the representation of fermented and non-fermented bread, and helps draw parallels between the duality of the nature of the bread and the culture inhabiting it. The work is a comment on the culture of the local region through the circulation of bread across various cultures and how the form and function of it changes in terms of size, taste and even the meaning of bread itself.”, Imran Ahmad Khan.
