The two images represented in “Breaking Bread” include women working over primitive ovens in the outdoor market in Istanbul, making bread, to be sold and eaten as it is pulled from the heat. Fragments of ancient fired pottery and Turkish carpets, all cut to resemble mosaic pieces are cultural objects layered and embedded in plaster in an archeological framework that reflects timeless events and meanings of Anatolian culture from Neolithic times.

Making and Breaking bread are traditions celebrating culture, family and friends throughout history, and a symbol of the simple activities that unify and define us through our commonalities.
