object collage: pantyhose-wood chips and traditional fardel fabric from Turkey.
As a wedding tradition, people who want to marry should prepare the trousseau (çeyiz) in Turkey. Following this tradition, before the engagement, the couple give a fardel to each other as a present. The contents of the fardels consist of some objects( e.g. linen, clothes etc …) what the couple found precious and beautiful to give. But are only the objects gave as a present? Or are they just a metaphor with nurture?
* Çeyiz means trousseau.
