THE RESIDUES OF THE PRESENT

“The residues of the present” is a collection of what was left behind after the massive protests in the streets of Tbilisi: teargas shells, scorched fireworks, torn posters, whistles…

Each fragment is sealed in a vacuum bag, compressed and breathless, yet still heavy with the pain it holds.
This work isn’t about preserving the past — it’s about facing the wounds that are still open.
This installation shows what cannot be erased: the marks left by violence, and the emotions that continue to live within them.
