Our individuality is in our strength!

I am from Georgia. Georgian culture has history of about 33 centuries. During this time, we were creating, developing and caring Georgian culture. Every epoch is a new challenge because it  brings novelties and without this process, development is inevitable.  The new epoch cause changing values. The former has a great impact on the society, therefore on the culture.

Right, this process is shown on my photo. On the left side, there is a peasant with national clothes(Chokha). A young man passing it, which looks modernly. If you look at it, the young man smokes and it is very dangerous for his health. Cigarettes, drugs are the world seng. this peasant is helpless, he can't find a solution. He lives with a different lifestyle and it is unacceptable for him. The photo shows us the contrast which exist into old and new generations.

In my opinion we should not feruse reasonable novelties. On the contrary, we should be open and also, we should not forget our traditions. Our individuality is in our strength.

On the picture is shown a Georgian man who has shown the unique works on the exhibition.          The exhibition is held anually in Nokalakevi. This city was the capital of Egrisi kingdom, in 6th       century.At that time Greeks called this city Archeopolis. The works of exhibition have a history of centuries.They are still being produced. 

The man dressed in national clothes, who is refugee from his country, expreses all the difficulties of      the present life through his face, despite the fact his works are being observed with great interest. He is proud of his history and he thinks, worries about today's life-Where is this merceless life leading us
