This painting does not depict the Abkhazia that others see; it is the Abkhazia that I feel and perceive. My parents are refugees from Abkhazia, and I was born in Samegrelo, Zugdidi. Throughout my childhood, I often heard stories about Abkhazia from them, but the lingering memories of displacement and war have remained the most vivid. There is a small mountain in Abkhazia, near the Abkhazia-Samegrelo border, that was clearly visible from our new home in Zugdidi. From a distance, it seemed so close. As a child, they would tell me, ‘You see that mountain? That’s Abkhazia.’ At the time, I believed that this mountain represented all of Abkhazia, surrounded by the sea. Of course, this was all in my imagination.
