"Milk and Honey" is a solo exhibition of the young artist Kristine Tusiashvili, which presents the video and photographic work under the same name. The video composition "Milk and Honey" is a self-portrait of the artist, which at the same time shows the iconographic face of women, widespread in the society. The work answers the question: What does society expect of women? The video self-portrait is about the standards created by the "beauty myths", which, as a metamorphosis, constantly change forms throughout the centuries. It adapts to time and space. In the modern world the resistance increases, the symbols change, but the conception, the woman, does not disappear as an image of the eternally young Aphrodite. Milk and honey are the symbols, the signs that were born in the mysterious ritual of Cleopatra's beauty and are still relevant today. These two ingredients of the famous recipe have a symbolic meaning for this work. Milk, considered a sign of life, is the symbol of a woman's vital energy. And honey, representing strength, is the way to preserve the earthly form of the body.
