Welcome to The Library of Self - an intimate journey into self-knowledge, expressed through the languages of photography, abstract painting, and sculpture. Each artwork here acts as a page in an evolving personal archive, where memory, emotion, and identity are layered, reimagined, and gently reframed.

​

Davit Botch’s abstract paintings channel inner states and subconscious rhythms, using colour, form, and gesture to evoke inner landscapes that resist definition. His photographs, by contrast, capture moments of quiet reflection, framing the self not as a fixed identity but as a constellation of shifting perspectives. His sculptural installation, meanwhile, bears witness to collective and personal memory scarred by war. Rooted in the trauma of Russia’s invasion of Georgia, it reflects on the bombing of the artist’s hometown—an event that claimed the lives of neighbours and scarred his community. A barbed wire delicately entwined with a fragile leaf hovers above soil embedded with images of destruction, symbolising both the violence of separation and the enduring fragility of life.

​

Together, these works invite you into a contemplative space—a library of the soul—where the self is not a singular truth, but a fluid, unfolding story. The Library of Self is a poetic visual inquiry into how we remember, how we dream, and how we piece together who we are.

If your curiosity is sparked, you’ll find QR codes alongside each piece offering further insights. For the most immersive experience, we encourage the use of headphones. Many works in the show are available directly through the artist’s website, with select pieces being auctioned until the close of this exhibition. Please visit the artist’s page to learn more about him and his practice.

You are warmly invited to explore not only what is seen but also what lies just beneath the surface: the invisible threads of identity woven through the artist’s inner world.
