Tina Chertova decided to dedicate her latest mural to such an iconic character
as Ekaterine Gabashvili.
Ekaterine was a Georgian writer, feminist,
and public figure who called for social reform in favor of womens’ emancipation.
She was raised in a wealthy family and had the opportunity to get a good education and be an activist, after which she established
a school for women in need.
"It is a good example of how you can
support others and share your knowledge
and experience.
Gabashvili is an icon for Georgia and I am happy to remind society of her story through murals" says Chertova.

Alena Davidovich's part of the mural
portrays Larissa Ganiush, a Belarusian poetess. On the wall, the artist mentioned
a quote from her poetry:
"Не згінай мяне, я не сагнуся, Не баюся ні страхаў, ні зла. Нездарма я з зямлі беларускай. Непахіснай сасною ўзрасла"; “Do not bend me, I will not bend, I am not afraid of fear or evil. It was not for nothing that I grew up from the earth as an unshakable Belarusian pine tree".
"I have chosen her because of her love
for Belarus and her inner strength.
For me, this poetry speaks about real power: inner strength and the power of the spirit, faith. It’s also about the importance of staying faithful to yourself and your ideas
to the end of your life".
