Allahaısmarladık / Maral Rolling Down the Hills of Hessen
You can make a perfect bunny cake from two round cakes by simply cutting and displacing them. There is no waste and no shortage. This recipe is known as universal, but I learned it from my mother who studied “Home Economics and Nutrition” in Ankara, Turkey. A study taught and studied only by women. The bunny cake was baked by her, for all the birthdays of mine and my brother for a long time, until we “grew up”. And falling/rolling hills - much like the cake - is known to be a universal act that you may have done at one time or another until you grew up. Despite the fact that I’m officially (and probably) an adult, I still roll down some hills when I feel like my existence has a lot of extras and deficits. My body - which has a certain organic shape and volume in space - is sometimes too little and sometimes too much. I think of its precision and want to blur it. I have to blur it.
