Coalesced Weight
Sticky dough clings to fingertips, pulling back against each rhythmic motion with a cooling, tacky resistance. These uneven stacks of failed loaves settle into collapsed wedges, refusing the imposition of any traditional shape or order. Rather than forcing a geometry upon the mass, the baker yields to the weight of the substance and its own stubborn logic. In this quiet surrender, the hands find a steady cadence within the density.
