My project is a constant dialogue between memory, emotions, and time. It explores the strange feeling of nostalgia that I experienced when I first arrived in Tbilisi. This project will present a selected period of my life and invites viewers to step into my memory, experiencing the textures of my past. It is an exploration of how time, place, and memory intertwine to shape the way we perceive ourselves and our sense of belonging.

Crimean-born multidisciplinary artist based in Tbilisi. Ex-marine mammal trainer with background in behavioral psychology, now working as a personal stylist and visual consultant.I explore memory, emotion, and mental health through video, photography, and mixed media. Clothes and visual content reveal deep aspects of personality — they speak when we are silent.I see time as a point where past, present, and future coexist. This shapes my non-linear, fragmented approach to identity and memory.I have excellent photographic memory and recall events from my life as if they happened yesterday, with all the details, sensations, and even smells. But in periods of worsening mental health due to anxiety-depressive disorder (MAD, over 15 years), my memory shifts: access to joyful days and achievements becomes blocked, leaving me in an empty, dark space. I contain my emotions by creating videos. Video diaries and fragments of daily life help me reclaim lost fragments and reintroduce myself to myself.
