Oaxacan Vendor Shapes Tortillas on Misty Market Boat

by Cassandra Myers

Steam rises in thick, white ribbons from a round comal resting on a portable burner, illuminating the vendor's flour-dusted hands as they press and shape dough into perfect circles. The vendor wears a faded blue apron stained with oil, standing against the backdrop of a wooden boat hull wrapped in woven reeds. Fine orange dust from dried chilies floats in the diffused dawn light, settling on the wet planks of the floating market stall. Behind the cooking surface, burlap sacks of corn masa lean against the gunwale, while thin mist rests on the water visible between the boat's supports. A small clay jar of lard sits on a bamboo shelf, its surface reflecting the pale morning sky. at the edge shows a single tortilla curling slightly at the edge as it hits the hot iron.
