The painting depicts the Zbruch Idol, which, according to some speculations, embodies the ancient god Rod.
Our ancestors considered it the creator of the Universe, the god of life, and destiny.
The word "rod" signifies relatives, descendants, compatriots, and the entire nation formed through birth.
In Ukraine, we can observe several replicas of the statue, while the original is located in Krakow.
This work is a spiritual journey to one's roots.
The painting reflects contemplations on individual and collective identity within the national origin, emphasizing the importance of preserving and reconnecting with our cultural heritage.
