The artist playfully emphasizes the word "Shawarma" on the tote bag, highlighting its significance as a symbol of enjoyment and pleasure. This whimsical representation serves as a reminder to relish the simple, gastronomic experiences that can bring moments of happiness and contentment to our lives.
