Regag bread
Location
Amwaj Pastry Bakery, Sharjah, UAE
My project starts with a strong interest in the tangible experience of holding the dough, rolling it, spreading it, leaving physical traces in the process of making regag, an extremely thin paper-like type of Emirati bread. I recreate this process using a dough to make paper instead of food. Spreading the mixture to a very thin level, my hands leave traces as a fine sheet of regag paper is created.
The video captures the process of making the paper with a custom track that I created, inspired by Emirati music, in the background, creating a fully sensorial atmosphere as if I was in the UAE, in the same bakery my partner introduced me to.
