STAR CROSSED

Tamara Kvesitadz

This work by Tamara Kvesitadze depicts the struggle a Muslim boy and Christian girl to sustain their love for each other. War, religion and fate conspired to tear them apart. Their story became a symbol for the people of Azerbajan and Georgia, countries with long histories of suffering conflcts.The story, that love knows no boundaries was inspirational. We sited Tamara’s work at the beginning of our visual arts journey as a reminder that love like creativity, has numerous forms and overcomes many challenges.
