„In my photographs, which I have been taking for years, I discovered that the same images keep appearing: flowers on the graves, grey hair, pools of blood during the mountain celebrations, fading plants, cemeteries, lifeless animals left on the roads… I see the connection between the images. Each photograph is still life, as a symbol, which speak of fleetingness of life and certainty death. It has become my way to fight a fear of death in order to understand it, through the medium of photography.

The reality depicted in the photographs, despite its tragic contest, often does contemplate the beauty.

The whole process of collecting the evidence of the ephemerality of life has turned in to one big mystery for me. This very indefinable mysticism attracts me most of all in this very uncommon collection.“ Nata Soromadze

Dze_georgian project, 2019, Filmstil, concept and direction by Nata Sopromadze

The campaign titled 'Dze_Georgian Project' was published in Georgia in May, 2019. It was created for the brand: Dzegvi Shelter.

“Dze-Georgian Project” was a partnership between “AFG’”, Creative Agency “Windfor’s” and Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Tbilisi. The partnership aims with the help of fashion to promote the idea of philanthropy and urge society to focus on social problems that remain beyond the attention. Lately, the fashion industry takes intense positions in supporting social problems/issues and Georgian fashion industry as a part of it responds to this challenge likewise.

Dzegvi Shelter was established near Tbilisi in Armazi Gorge as “Street Children Orphanage” for rescuing so-called “street children” in 1995. 120 street children who were brought up in the Shelter have already returned to normal life. Since 2010 as a result of different reasons the ‘former street children” orphanage was converted into the unique mixed shelter that is the only of its kind all over Georgia. At the moment Dzegvi shelters former street children, disabled children and elderly, homeless elderly and adults and single mothers with their children.”
