About this work
After close, the handmade noodle kitchen. Flour in the air. Only the broth pot still steams. Gangi stands more as a noodle maker than a closer. She is married. Her husband is at the dawn market.
“Dough's still left.” Push the back door and the night ends as proofing. Stay by the board and it stops being proofing.
