Color photography shows a moment of the artisanal process of roasting cassava flour. At the center of the image appears a young man, thin, shirtless and wearing red shorts. He stands in front of a pan filled with flour, which occupies the space of the photograph located from the height of the middle of his thighs down. The pan is an iron container, in which the flour is cooked and roasted, has a shape similar to that of a frying pan with about one and a half meters in diameter, in black color. The record was made at the moment when the man throws up, with both hands and with apparently moderate force, a quantity of flour. The grains in the air cover the young man's face, while spreading through the central part of the image, highlighting the movement of the action. In the background, in black, shades of green and brown, the structure that supports the roof of the hut where the man is located appear blurred, and an opening showing the trees of the outer region. Some sun rays are also visible in the background.
