This man is making candies in the downtown of Mandalay, Myanmar's second largest city. The workers boil sugar in a large pot and then cool it to make sticky starch syrup. Then they add colorant and stretch the candy with their hands to mix it with air for better texture. They shout “Ayer!” as they pull hard on the candy. The way they worked was both dynamic and beautiful. (Mandalay, Myanmar 2016)
