Images from Shifting Borders
Shifting Borders Project Statement: Aggression, authoritarianism, and modern-day imperialism pose an existential threat to communities, cultures, and entire nations —including my own Republic of Georgia. I propose to pursue ongoing photographic work, exploring the cultural and community impacts of three decades of Russian occupation in sovereign Georgian territories. Through this work, I strive to provide impactful documentation of local populations struggling to survive sustained aggression from their neighbors, even in this 21st century. Without effective leadership here, there may be no exit from this particular “forgotten circle” of hell… the debilitating fear and vulnerability of “creeping borders” and protracted unlawful annexation.
