Gio Parkaia is a Georgian photographer based between Tbilisi and New York.

His work traces the rhythm of travel — the lines and colors of different cultures and design. The fleeting energy of arrival, seeing a new place with new eyes.

On the island, he captured the landscape and its locals to have a better understanding of their way of life. Children playing after school and three generations of fishermen.

Photography as a way to hold the present — and to imagine a future.
