This piece was presented at the "Heirloom" Exhibition of Dvizh Collective, which took place in Tbilisi in September 2024.
Text from the catalogue: "A souvenir, whether it is a religious item or a common one, can be given symbolic meaning and acquire a new significance – for example, as a magical amulet or a traditional heirloom. An artifact can be the starting point of one’s story and even become a relic.
This work is meant to be an heirloom for a person very important to me, a girl named Taisiya. Her parents, who are very close to me, chose her name in advance. Though she was supposed to be born in August, she was destined to appear on May 23 instead, her name day. A miracle, one would say."
