Vanity of the Offices
Vanità degli uffici. Solo exhibition at LibriLiberi, Florence, April 2023. Not long ago people invented offices, and since then they have spent a large part of their lives in them. Offices were full of things: coloured pins, pens of every kind, staplers large and small, folders of different sizes — each carrying the marks of a hidden hierarchy. Directors and those close to them had the best pins, the special pens, the different folders.

Jack of Hearts
A short story written, illustrated and designed by Sandro Asatiani. A cockroach who writes poems out of crumbs is hopelessly in love with Sofya Andreevna — someone so big, so beautiful, so warm. In the evenings she lays out her cards and wonders about her secret admirer, but the cards never point her to the jack of hearts.
