The simple gesture of home delivery of bread still happens in a few houses. It is a gesture that has many meanings, speaks of something that perhaps is no longer there, a newspaper that belongs to a few.
Bread has always been the basis of nutrition, for the Egyptians not only a source of food but also a symbol of wealth. Bread is an element full of meanings, a real symbol.
By looking at a bread bag you get a lot of information about the person who will receive it. One above all, if he lives alone, for example. A big bag does not speak of a single person, it certainly belongs to someone who loves to surround himself with people.
Each bag is then a small portrait, it brings with it a story.
One of these bags is placed in a frame, held tightly closed, crushed by two vices. This bag does not have a real recipient, it only bears the inscription X ... (for anyone, for anyone, for everyone, for me ..)
At the foot of the frame, on the floor a flood of bags with their recipients shown on the front. However, these bags are only full of air.
