Dialogue is a collaborative experimental project by Emilia Ochkova-Dimitrova and Assoc. Prof. Georgi Chervendinev. The series comprises three spatial objects, each combining the qualities of an art installation, a lighting object, and a small side table.

The main structure is built from wooden rods and specially designed 3D-printed joints developed and produced by Assoc. Prof. Georgi Chervendinev. Transparent and mirrored planes, ceramic forms, light, and figurative details are integrated into this framework.

The project explores a dialogue between artistic image, function, and construction. Conceived as an open experiment, it became the starting point for a series of new investigations for both artists.
