The initial idea was to narrate life in Orthodox monasteries, in the Samtskhe-Javakheti region of Georgia. The impossibility of direct contact with these communities, except at Tchule Monastery, prompted me to change course: I decided to focus on the signs of faith and their visual presence. The little interaction and the prohibitions to photograph,led me to look for other ways to tell the sacred: light, architectural details, incense smoke, collected atmospheres. A work born of the unexpected, which found strength precisely in adaptation.
