Big Cherry is a two-year photographic journey through Georgia, centering on the streets of Tbilisi. Through intimate portraits and landscapes, the book captures the evolving relationships between the photographer and the people encountered. It reflects on the complex realities of identity and migration, set against the political backdrop of Russia-Georgia tensions. Dedicated to Nnenna, the first person the photographer captured, this project highlights the resilience, vulnerability, and connections that shape the immigrant experience.
