What does it mean to live inside a space built by a former ideology?

Photographed in Georgia and Armenia in 2025, this work explores Soviet-era structures that remain part of everyday life: stations, apartment blocks, swimming pools, parks, and power plants. Conceived to embody collective identity and progress, these spaces outlive the system that gave them form. Through their materiality and silence, they hold traces of a past that has not entirely disappeared. The images observe the coexistence of different temporalities, where architecture becomes a space of memory and a quiet presence in the present. Rather than documenting ruins or evoking nostalgia, the work asks what remains of an ideology when its structures outlive it, and how these spaces continue to shape everyday life.
