We perceive things around us, hear the sounds of buses, sirens, endless construction, but often we do not hear people's voices and it is difficult for us to notice them, Especially in small, young and poor countries, where their voice is lost in unstable economic conditions and constant problems.


 In one of the districts of Tbilisi, In one of the districts of Tbilisi, on the road near houses connected by thin boards spread out on a plateau, on agricultural land, there is an object - Handmade signboards “Greedy Pigs, this country also belongs to us, ordinary people”. This is an expression of social injustice, irresponsibility, mistrust accumulated in a person over the years. a Expression is one of the main manifestations of art.


 On the white debris tile, the scratched brown lettering is perfect for the message it carries. Regardless of whether the shapes and materials have been deliberately selected or based on the materials available. Internal and external forms of expression are also in perfect harmony. An unknown author creates an object and takes it out of his personal space - on the other side of the fence. 


 A few months after the discovery of the discarded board, the artist placed it on the street on an advertising banner on the main avenue of the city without permission. Which serves to understand the board as a protest and art and to acquaintance of the general public with the work of an unknown author.
