Caption:

The sight is the most important and indispensable for everyone. Nowadays, many people have vision problems caused by health or other reasons.

My photo is thematic because of my country. I live in Georgia and there was a big mess in my country a few months ago. And that\'s because 20% of my country is occupied by Russia. A few weeks ago Georgian youth were on strike, We were protesting the occupation. Unfortunately, the authorities dispersed the action with rubber bullets. Three young men lost their eyes in the war of rubber bullets. This is a very painful issue for us. The young person should not lose sight just because they need freedom. They lost their eyes because they were protesting the common pain of the country. They still stand to defend the country and now with only one eye thought with great hope.

With this photo, I wanted to show the pain of my country and the youth. This is not only happening in my country.

The inscription in Georgian (იმედი-hope) is also symbolic. This is a sign that people should never give up. Because fighting always makes sense. hope dies last. The occupation can be seen with one eye......
