I believe that dreams are the aspirations we've had since we were young. It remains with us throughout and never truly disappears. It's unfortunate that we have to put aside our aspirations to concentrate on our daily struggles. I've always been saddened by the need to let go of our dreams in order to live. My goal is to demonstrate how reality can often take us down a completely different road through the use of ,,Lost Dreams’’.
join me on a visual journey through the lives of those who once held dreams and pursued education, but circumstances led them down a different path, in order to make ends meet. By capturing striking and emotional portraits, this series aims to increase their voice and share their stories.
The goal of ,,Lost Dreams'' is to inspire empathy and compassion by making viewers reflect on their own journeys and aspirations that they have postponed in search of stability. By analysing the reality of dashed hopes, this project hopes to provide inspiration and remind us not to allow life's unpredictable nature to stop us from pursuing our dreams.
I want to especially thank: Aleksandre Ianovski, Jumber Bzishvili, Otar Chkaidze and Ekaterina Tsitaishvili. Without them, this Project would have not been possible.
