“Traditionally, mothers used to start to prepare the dowry chest as soon as they give birth to a\ndaughter. Embroidery is prepared for the brides with a veil with strings, which are woven into\nembroidery, loop-by-loop.\nA dowry chest is a treasure in which sorrows, happiness, and hopes are stored.\nThe secret of every house, the story of every house is hidden in this chest. It is the accumulation\nof memories. It is a bridge of women from the past to the future. It is a place of beauty stored for\nspecial occasions.\nIt is the place where dreams are dusted, where hopes are kept under lock and key.\nHappiness for girls who have come to love is a world dungeon for girls who have been forced to do\nwhat they don’t want.\nThe language of the chests is the summary of the life of Anatolian woman.\nThe name of this chest is Leman\nShining. Leman\nIn her words,\nI’m a little girl buried in the dark with this chest.\nMy father wanted me to marry before I even opened my eyes.\nI’m Leman, but it’s Leman who’s not me.\nMy father and uncle gave me to my uncle’s son so quickly, it was just between the lighting and\nputting out a cigarette.\nMy father gave me away ,and my uncle accepted.\nIt was my destiny to be buried in this chest, even though my mother wanted to prevent it.\nThey gave me this chest to keep my pain at my bedside.\nIt’s like everything was in its place in my life, they collected something, put them in. My mom put\neverything she weaved in my chest.\nAnd then they gave me my baby, and I became a mother before I even knew what had happened.\nI thought I had buried my youth at the age of 16, my motherhood at the age of 19, and the pain of\nadoption at the age of 25.\nThe story of a life consumed by a cruel husband, a life hidden from pain, hope, longing.\nI have kept the story of a past life in this chest with Leman.\nOh, and I had a husband, didn’t I? The one they gave me away to between the beginning and the\nend of a cigarette.\nPain, fate, and death were mine.\nI hid my nightgown in this chest, where my child’s milk stain was, I smelled it, I hugged it.\nThis is Leman.\nLeman, who is not me.”<\/p>\n
