      <image:caption>Towering 20 meters high over Tbilisi, in pure aluminum, Kartlis Deda stems from the ancient tradition of worshipping the mother-goddess. She holds a sword in one hand and a cup of wine in the other. She follows in the footsteps of Mater Matuta of the Etruscans, Tanit of Carthage and Anahita of Persia. She is given an unusual honor: she is the most loved woman in Georgia. She is the silent defender and carer. Yet, she does not, in fact, exist. Why do we create and normalize unattainable role-models? Is there a discrepancy between the portrayal of this goddess and what we expect of those around us? Can we see the people around us without putting them on a pedestal or putting them down? This serie of works presents real people without idolization. Without pretense of perfection. Juxtaposing Kartlis Deda to my subjects, I ask: where do we stand?</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In Alchemy - 'the process of transmutation by which to fuse or reunite with the divine or original form' - the transformation of the Matter is entwined with its spiritual transformation. Swinging between powerful positions to accusation of witchcraft at times, women gave a great contribution to alchemy, in different historical periods, when social and religious conditions allowed it. This contribution is one of the most refined manifestations expressed by women in the field of scientific knowledge. The metals were believed to have a philosophical meaning and a spiritual connection. The celestial body represented by Gold is the Sun. The metal was highly valued by the ancient Egyptians, Irish, Romans, Asians, Africans, and Central Americans. It was believed to represent perfection and purity. Gold was often used as offerings for the gods, for ceremonial purposes and for the beautification of the chieftains’ courts. Most of the cultures across the world have seen this metal as a symbol of wealth, prosperity, authority and charisma. It was supposed to aid in healing, protection, growth, and knowledge.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Kalighat Project is a serie of portraits developped during my artist residency at Chander Haat in Kolkata. The "Kalighat project" deals with the topic of human trafficking and to the traditional Arts &amp; Crafts as a means of reintegrating sex workers into society. Kolkata is the biggest hub for human trafficking in Asia. Block printing is the earliest method of printing patterns on textile. Many victims of human trafficking are reintroduced to society through learning new work skills. One of them is Block printing. I wanted to put these two opposite aspects of indian society together, adapting the method of printing to the canvas which portray the sex workers. Of these 6 portraits, one is not a sex worker. But it's not given to know who.I want to stress the dignity of a woman regarding her profession or social status.</image:caption>
