Between

Between explores post-Soviet traces in Georgia and Armenia through quiet observations of spaces, objects, and symbols – capturing a landscape shaped by layered histories, between memory and movement, doubt and resilience, East and West.

A car radio displays the name Abkhazia – as if it were just another station. But nothing about it is casual. The signal carries a silence louder than words, evoking a territory claimed, contested, and suspended between recognition and denial.

This series reflects on the cultural and emotional landscape of Georgian and Armenian society as it negotiates its post-Soviet present. The photographs trace subtle and fragile continuities: a Stalin statue, facedown and hidden from view; building complexes slowly reclaimed by nature; a shop stacked with Western brands, lit by Soviet design. These spaces and objects carry the residue of an empire that collapsed, but left behind its weight in structures, habits, and contradictions.

Between is composed as a collection of observations. It offers fragments of a landscape shaped by improvisation and unresolved histories. The images invite to engage with the tension of transition: between memory and movement, doubt and resilience, Russia and Europe.
