„This Life” is a personal travel documentary filmed on the island of Mallorca. Through fragments of airports, streets, architecture, landscapes, fleeting moments, and quiet observations, the film captures not only a journey through a place, but also a journey through a state of mind.
Travel has a unique way of reminding us how extraordinary ordinary life really is. It teaches us to slow down, to notice beauty in simple moments, and to realize how much we often take for granted.
This film is my expression of gratitude—for movement, for love, for the chance to discover the world, and above all, for the simple privilege of being alive. Sometimes the greatest destination is not a country or a city, but the moment when you stop and truly appreciate your own life.

In 2025, I participated in an international creative project in the city of Nida, Lithuania, focused on the creation of a video work. Together with participants from different countries, we developed the concept, worked on filming, and brought the creative idea to life. During this project, I improved my skills in videography, visual storytelling, and international teamwork. This experience became an important step in my professional development and strengthened my passion for audiovisual arts.

All About Samegrelo' is a graphic design diploma project created to visually explore and highlight the rich cultural heritage, unique identity, and traditions of Samegrelo, one of Georgia’s most distinctive regions.
Designed entirely through a graphic lens, the project translates the region’s history, local authenticity, nature, and cultural nuances into a modern visual narrative. Utilizing graphic elements, custom illustrations, and thoughtful layout design, the work delivers an informative, structured, and aesthetically captivating experience.
The core concept stems from a deeply personal connection to the region and a desire to create a valuable, inspiring resource. Beyond showcasing Samegrelo, the work was conceptualized with a broader vision: to serve as a catalyst for other creative students to visually map different regions of Georgia, ultimately building a collective graphic archive of the country's diverse cultural landscape.

The essence of my project is simple. I believe that everyone should occasionally visit their own city as a tourist, so they can discover many beautiful places along the way that they had never even imagined. I played with this idea like this: an artist is sent into the city to get to know it better, to experience and see all the beauty of the place where she lives, and along the way he makes sketches.

Guruli Suneli making video is a cinematic tribute to the living traditions of Guria, a region in western Georgia where heritage is preserved not in museums, but in family homes, gardens, songs, and shared meals.
Together with my daughter, we prepare Guruli Suneli, in the backyard of Kintikara Retreat Space, the region's beloved aromatic spice blend, using herbs grown in our garden. We grind the herbs by hand in a traditional stone mortar, following techniques passed down through generations. As we work, we sing Gurian folk songs together, celebrating the famous polyphonic tradition that has long been the heartbeat of our region. In these moments, cooking becomes more than preparing food - it becomes an act of remembering, teaching, and belonging.
The film shows how knowledge is passed naturally from parent to child, through shared work, music, laughter, and everyday rituals. Every handful of herbs, every note of song, and every stone in the old courtyard tells a story of resilience, identity, and love for the land.
This film invites viewers into a home, where culture is lived every day and where the spirit of Guria is experienced through its people, its flavors, and its songs.
It is an invitation to discover Guria through the senses—to hear its voices, breathe its aromas, and experience the warmth of a family keeping its traditions alive for future generations.

Rome sacred and secular. A large cake with layers of artistic delights.
A chaos of history, art, beauty, where time travels are made wherever you look.
Rome full of birds, exotic, refined and popular. Roma Caput Mundi. My wonderful city.

This project is a contemporary visual reinterpretation of the metaphorical conflict found in Ilia Chavchavadze's classic work, The Traveller's Letters, expressed through the medium of a comic. Based on the allegorical opposition between the Tergi River and Mount Mkinvari, the project explores the inner human struggle- the constant fluctuation between movement and stillness.

Tergi embodies an unstoppable, ever-evolving force driven by progress, while Mkinvari represents stagnation, lifeless self-absorption, and the refusal to step beyond one's comfort zone. Chavchavadze's historical satire, irony, and concern for the future of society remain just as relevant today as they were in the nineteenth century.

Tragedy Without a Hero is a video art project based on Niko Lortkipanidze’s novel and inspired by Revaz Nasidze’s film adaptation of the same name. The project incorporates selected fragments from the film alongside newly created visual elements, including illustration and video art. Through this combination, the work explores themes of human struggle, morality, poverty, and inner conflict, creating a personal interpretation of the story’s emotional and philosophical depth.

The project is a 2 minute and 30 second game intro created for an action video game. The purpose of the video is to introduce the main characters to the audience and create a mysterious and tense atmosphere that sparks interest in the game.

The game world combines realistic environments with fantastical elements. The main character is a wandering knight and traveler who fights in pursuit of glory.
