There’s Armenia in Columbia (to Natasha Babaeva)

4×4×2.5 cm, ceramics, acrylic.
I spent November in Armenia and in December visited Colombia for the first time. Flags of those countries are combined from similar colors, and in Colombia there’s a city named Armenia.

Surprising even for me, but I found all the pieces for this work on the streets of Bogotá exactly as you see them.

Also I saw there a composition of broken tiles on a walkway:
Sergei Parajanov included broken porcelain into his collages:
Sergei Parajanov, «Grandmother’s walnut jam» (1986)

The work was made for my friend Natasha Babaeva. After her stories about Colombia I decided to go there. And now Natasha lives in Armenia.
