In Case I Return (2026) is a wall installation built from textiles, ceramic fragments, drawings, and archival traces. Through layered and provisional structures, the work reflects on displacement, abandonment, and the fragile persistence of memory. Referencing materials collected from a former Soviet sanatorium in Georgia, the installation approaches the wall as an unstable archive, holding traces of a return that remains uncertain and as well as a temporary architecture, assembled like a patchwork of memory.

The installation draws from personal encounters with abandoned spaces including fragments collected from a former Soviet sanatorium and photo documentation taken on now occupied part of Georgia. These remnants, detached from their original site, reappear here as an independant object arrying the emotional weight of places left behind and histories that persist through material residue.

Rather than offering a complete narrative, “In Case I Return” proposes the wall as an archive of absence: a surface where displacement becomes visible through accumulation, fragility, and care. It reflects on the condition of return, not as certainty, but as a lingering possibility embedded in what remains.
