' textureless '

: 2022

*texture addiction

during the time i lived in tbilisi, one of the ways i entered into dialogue with the city was through documenting its textures, photographing fragments of surfaces. tbilisi is incredibly dense in its material character, with a striking concentration of diverse textures and reliefs. i found great pleasure in observing them and in piecing the city together through these small fragments.

this became a form of interaction between us. even now, long after i no longer live there, these imprints of the city remain important to me, although memories of that time return with a certain shiver.

' i have no personality '

*everything you see is nothing more but a simulation

this image emerged accidentally during the shoot for the series 'birth of an idea'. i liked the frame itself but disliked the reflection in the liquid mirror, so i began experimenting with it, which led to this visual distortion.

both the distortion and the title appeared intuitively and unconsciously. only later did i realize how precisely the image resonated with the period i was living through at the time.

for nearly a year i had been in a state of deep dissociation. my sense of identity had almost completely dissolved — i could no longer answer fundamental questions about myself: who i was, what defined me, or what kind of person i was. looking in the mirror became difficult, as i simply did not recognize the person i saw there.

what began as a spontaneous experiment eventually revealed itself as an unexpectedly precise reflection of that experience — something that had appeared by chance and without conscious intention, yet was deeply aligned with what i was going through at the time.

' wake me up when it's all over '

: may 2022

*we've gone too far

'все вокруг взрывается.
люди плачут.
люди ругаются.
люди перестают быть людьми. невинных делают виновными.
а истинно виновные разжигают хаос вокруг все сильнее
и сильнее.
травмы физические и душевные размером с марианскую впадину.
единый организм весь в трещинах, которые так быстро расходятся, и которые, кажется, уже не склеить.
разбудите меня, когда все это закончится'.

this image and accompanying text were created in may 2022 as an expression of my emotions, fears, anxiety, and distress in response to the news about what has been happening in the world.

i felt profoundly small, not only myself but all of us, fragile beings caught in a political vortex that destroyed countless lives.
i wanted someone to wake me, to shake me, to tell me that it was only a dream, that none of it was real, and that everything was okay.
wake me up when it’s all over.
