This series of works deeply conveys the pain and suffering of the Ukrainian people, woven into every page of their history. For centuries, Ukraine has been forced to fight against invasion and resist attempts of genocide.
The burlap symbolizes the harvest, as Ukrainians have traditionally used it to store grain and flour — the sources of life. Cross-stitch embroidery represents the unique identity and centuries-old cultural heritage of the Ukrainian people. The black canvas serves as a reminder of Ukraine’s fertile and rich soil, which has always been the heart of the nation. The red color, pulsating in each image, symbolizes the blood shed for the freedom and independence of their homeland.
These are not just works of art; they are the voice of memory, calling for unity and revival.
