U Than Hla

U Than Hla grew up by the shores of Inle Lake, where the days and nights are ruled by the rhythms of the water and the sky. He took over the night baking job from his father, meticulously tending to the wood-fired oven and passing on the secrets of fermentation. Since surviving a lightning strike, he has relied on the disturbing gift of sensing storms through the scent of copper lingering in the air.
