I captured these photos using my smartphone camera, then slightly edited them using Photoshop Express to enhance the colors and sharpen the details. In this photo, I see banana leaf parcels neatly arranged in a blue basket, a simple symbol of the tradition and warmth of the Maulid celebrations in my village.
These parcels usually contain a variety of traditional dishes, from savory rice, curry chicken, chili sauce, to various traditional side dishes prepared with a spirit of mutual cooperation. Moments like these are not just about food, but also about togetherness, friendship, and gratitude, expressed through the unique dishes of our community.
Through this photo, I want to capture the nuances of local wisdom, a meaningful blend of tradition, flavor, and shared values. Simple yet rich in meaning, each fold of the banana leaf holds a story of culture and respect for ancestors that is still preserved to this day. 📸
