Sea that Remembers, 2026

Installation

Tedo Rekhviashvili: Sea that Remembers, 2026. Installation, 250 x 250 cm.

A shell is a symbol of protection, home, fertility, and rebirth, and, at the same time, it shields remembrances, changes, and far imaginaries, reemerging like the sound of waves. Drawing from personal history and post-Soviet realities, Tedo Rekhviashvili’s work confronts the fragile boundary between collective trauma and personal mythology, exploring the layers of our society’s memory, identity, and perception. His emotionally charged, conceptually rigorous work is a space of excavation—of truth, grief, beauty, and transformation. His visual language merges expressive abstraction with figurative precision, combining archetypal symbols and surreal motifs to examine the blurred lines between inner worlds, shared experiences, and societal structures.

Tedo Rekhviashvili (Georgia, 1990) is a contemporary Georgian artist, born in Adigeni. He exhibited at the Silk Factory and the Georgian Museum of Fine Arts in Tbilisi. He studied at the Tiblisi State Academy of Art and the New York Academy of Art.
