The title of the work refers to the piece of Soviet Georgian silk that was made in Tbilisi. I took the visual pattern of the silk and made a clay mold. Using it, I tried to reconstruct and translate the silk into another solid material. Through repetitive action, the mold gradually changed its shape, and In the end, it left no trace of the original pattern.
