Bird's Milk | madártej

 

A delicate dessert from The Hungarian cuisine. A custard made from egg yolks, milk, sugar, and vanilla, topped with floating "birds" of whipped egg whites.

Milk - a raw material I chose out of memories and longing, the familiar scents, flavors, and textures. The imagery resonates with breast milk, nourishing and fulfilling a primal survival need, symbolizing essential care and protection, and a natural bond between mother and child, ensuring continuity.

The formation of a film on the surface of boiling milk creates stunning and diverse textures that change with temperature and light. It becomes a surprising material to work with, offering a canvas for experimentation and exploration of forms reminiscent of organic matter.
