This mural, created by Belarusian artist Zmicier Zhaunou, called “Feast,” immerses us in the atmosphere of a Georgian feast, symbolizing hospitality, joy and humanity. Bright and contrasting colors enhance the impression of the image, where every action, object and character carries a hidden meaning.
The central theme of the work is the Georgian holiday, which can take various forms. This can be a quiet conversation over a cup of coffee prepared on sand (sand here symbolizes life and time), or internal dialogue. But this same holiday can turn into something more - into a metaphor for freedom and unifying power.
Images of animals and people, as well as everyday objects, are symbols of interaction and freedom, which, as The author emphasizes that it can be bliss, but also a heavy burden. A person may not be aware of it, be paralyzed by it, or not need it at all. However, in difficult times, the value of freedom increases.
Through this mural, Zhaunou also expresses solidarity with those who fight for freedom, offering to raise a toast to it in their honor.
