Embedded into the pavement
in front of the former Parliament House in Tbilisi, Georgia, are concrete
paving stones and glass tiles in commemoration of people who lost their lives protesting
for independence in 1989. They are set against the grain of the other pavement tiles
– at about 45 degrees. Georgia’s independence was declared on 9 April 1991.
On 5 April 2016 these stones and tiiles were renovated due
to cracks and chips.
