Giorgi Shengelia

I came here so far

„Coincidences often condition changes.

My family's photo archive burned long ago. Only a small number of photos survived. Burned, torn, cropped sided and distorted small photos speed up the searching process. The small nostalgic photos inspired me to work on a new genre that would give me the same feelings as the photos survived from the fire. I try to create this mood in accidental portraits that I see every day...“, Giorgi Shengelia.
