In this scene, nine women, who are my neighbors, are selling Akara (bean cake) in front of the houses. I am coming to buy Akara in the evening. The value I am showing is occupation. It is important to have work. Food selling is one of the most famous types of work for aged woman.
“The woman uses water to cleanse her spoon while frying food.”
My family is very simple. I like drawing and reading. I like people who are caring. I want to help people, especially charities, when I grow up.
