This tapestry was inspired by a warm southern night I once witnessed in Abkhazia, in Gagra - where graceful women bathed in the water against the backdrop of majestic mountains. That moment stayed with me, and it found new life in this piece.

Set against a rich, layered background of blue-green tones, several sculptural female forms emerge in gentle relief, bringing a sense of depth and softness. Hand-sewn natural pearls are scattered across the surface, creating a subtle, soothing glow - an echo of moonlight reflected on water.

Entirely handmade, this tapestry is designed to bring a sense of calm and elegance into a spacious, uncluttered interior. It captures not only the beauty of the scene but also the serenity of the memory that inspired it.
