All That Remains in Ruin explores what is left after death—not just physically, but emotionally, culturally, and symbolically. The project reflects on how grief is performed, preserved, and gendered through fading traditions and visual rituals in Georgian mourning culture.

Through my work i tried to explore how mourning is performed, how memory is constructed, and how grief exists both as a private emotion and a public ritual. The images are not documentation, but staged memorials—myths, echoes, and unresolved questions about what we inherit through death. They also reflect the erosion of Georgian mourning traditions—once deeply rooted, now often reduced to surface gestures without emotional depth. created staged photographs—women in mourning, placed behind glass like mannequins. These vitrines act like shrines or memory boxes—ways to hold onto the past but also show how grief is put on display, especially by women. These gravestones reveal so much about our cultural values: pride, permanence, public memory, and often a kind of stubborn defiance of death itself. They're monuments not just to loss, but to legacy—an insistence on presence even in absence.
