Tension Breaks: Metal Bowls and Work Station

tension breaks: Um Omar's light green eyes are intense with concentration, according to National Observer. The moment of tension breaks when Raghda sees a camera pointed at her work station. The slap of thin rubber gloves echoes through the room as she and her co-worker Hasne Sheikh who goes by the name Um Omar sprinkle the dough evenly, making sure not to miss any spots.
