9 APRIL

In my opinion, creativity comes from one's environment, origins, and experiences.

Because of Georgia's diverse history and culture, everyone here is creative in their own way.

Every person has their own story, a shared past, and a different future.

Everyone has something to say, a story to tell, and despite growing up within the same environment, each story remains unique.

Our history is not only something that happened in the past and has now been forgotten.

Our past is what allows us to create future.

There are powerful historical events that many people of my generation did not personally witness, yet it never feels that way.

It feels as though we were there too, as though it is also part of our own past.

For me, the most tragic event is April 9.

Even though it happened long before I was born, I still feel like I am part of that history.

9 April, 1989 represents an unbreakable desire for freedom, which I believe is one of the most important values both in everyday life and in creative expression.

The absence of freedom destroys and suffocates creativity and art.

My work is dedicated to this very day — a day that is both tragic and deeply significant for every Georgian.
