One Blue Drop

The name of the artwork is 5 and there is included Georgian philosopher - Merab Mamardashvili’s saying: 

“The number of people is one, the crowd is another” 

“The crowd is a mass of people who have fallen out of tradition, have broken the unified connection of origin and as they say in my favorite Lechkhumi “They are without judgment” - those without judgment are the crowd”.

The scheme of the artwork is based on the numbers (derived from the previous works) that form the structure of Tree of Life. The video in the artwork represents the lifetime cycle of a person. Metaphorical sky holds 6 figures that also are forming geometrical shapes, whose reflection on the ground also creates 6 different moving shapes – 6 individual characters with different visual shapes from various angles. The artwork was created during the pandemic and the spectator will often see a crying eye, dog, the foot of a ballerina, flower… These forms come into life when the spectator enters the space. These forms become spectators themselves, they integrate with the space: they are watching the video or reading the concept along with the audience. They create a sense of unity in this space, which is reflected in the concept that hangs on the wall as an artwork itself. The video projection, which is under the concept and in the middle of the Tree of Life, reminds us of the eye.

Sneakers on the pedestal is the main accessory of the artist, it is the symbol of life and connection to the cosmic characters (such as George Lucas’ film Star Wars) for her. These characters are depicted on the sneakers, however, they actually represent subculture, the people from the nightlife community, especially the people of the night club KHIDI, for whom this space is home. The black paper material of the artwork reminds of the wall of the club and the silhouettes – of the people. The artwork is created by mirror-like material, with range and black paper, and all of those have a punctured surface, often convex, which reflects the goosebumps of a person. If we reflect on the physical phenomenon of goosebumps, we can agree that it is “the indicator of truth” – which, exactly, is the symbol of the club for the artist. This place unites people, for whom, the key to the universe lies in music and dance.

Another artwork on the pedestal – box of a laptop – is about the importance of technologies and social media in times of a pandemic. Quick exchange of information opened new ways of resources and possibilities before us. The artwork has the shape of a flower and reminds us of the significance of nature and the planet itself, and that we are part of it – Our geometry is this flower – secret fractal geometry.
