Here we see a drawing by Alevtyna Kakhidze, presenting us with a visual landscape divided into urban and rural spheres. Notice the figures holding hands, a potent symbol of solidarity and community. This motif echoes across time. Think of medieval chain dances symbolizing unity, or the Renaissance depictions of the Three Graces, their intertwined hands signifying interconnectedness. Yet, in Kakhidze’s work, these gestures are set against a backdrop of contemporary social issues. Words like "gender," "discrimination," and "decentralization" are scattered throughout the drawing. The drawing captures an underlying tension; the struggle for unity. This visual tension resonates deeply within our collective memory, reminding us that the pursuit of harmony is a constant, cyclical process, an echo of humanity’s enduring quest for understanding.
