Photo project Georgia "Sky as Crown" by Irma Sharikadze

From Irma Sharikadze "Sky as Crown"
The Ministry of Culture and Monument Protection of Georgia and The Tbilisi City Hall are pleased to present the personal exhibition by Irma Sharikadze Sky as Crown. The photo project Sky as Crown presents the beautiful Georgian landscape, while ethnocultural symbols elaborate the modern concept of Georgian woman.

The project consists of 29 photos. Irma Sharikadze invited leading Georgian designers to the photo sessions, which were held in open air in different regions of Georgia: Svaneti, Tusheti, Ozurgeti, Kazbegi, Sagarejo, Telavi, and Shatili.

Irma Sharikadze: „My aim was to liberate the concept of Georgian woman from stereotypical chains. Georgian woman is a bearer of energy, temperament, boldness and eroticism; she organically shares European aesthetics, being capable of enriching the latter with her unique flavor at the same time. The beauty of the modern Georgian woman harmoniously amalgamates with the Georgian landscape and decorates herself with the Georgian sky as a crown, as it was conceived from the beginning.”

Irma Sharikadze will show her amazing photo series 2012 in Paris, France and in The Netherlands.
