Tbilisi Georgia 2014 – 2016

When I left my home city and left for another one in 2009, everything was going well. It was easy to get used to a new city, new streets, new people... All this was very interesting for me. Move to another city is the best way to leave the past, to forgot it... One starts new life, while this new life becomes familiar and one gets used to again. It was the same with me however nostalgy for my city was chasing me... My city was associated only with the positive memories. It's difficult to live in one place and think of another. Nostalgy was getting worse, it is gnawing the soul and one needs to obey, until it swallows you. In 2013 I returned to my city, however, I felt even more alienated, than I've ever felt in any other city. It was not the city, I left... Such a change of the city and its' people makes me ambiguous, I have questions which cannot be answered. It is heartbreaking to be an alien in own city. ⓒ G,Shengelia
