Part of Ali's latest "Jugs & Sardines" collection.
 
Imagine a warm breeze carries the salty tang of the azure ocean to golden sand. Your sun hat shades your face from the late afternoon glow as you reach for a cool, pink drink.
 
The heady aroma of grilled sardines, sharp with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon, sizzles on the air. Terracotta plates with painted patterns are arranged on slubbed linen, casting dappled shade. Chitchat takes to the breeze as delectable dishes are shared and savored.
 
Ali's memories of Mediterranean summers are wrapped up in this folk-art snapshot.
