The painting depicts the mysterious realm of the afterlife, where Vyriy is located, and the river Leto flows. Leto serves as the boundary where a person's belief in the immortality of the soul grows stronger.
The kalyna bridge leading to this realm becomes a crucial element of transition, symbolizing the eternal connection of the living, the passed, and those awaiting their birth. Kalyna, an ancient Ukrainian symbol, embodies the unity of the people beyond time.
The painting serves as a reminder of the continuous flow of life, the belief in the immortality of the soul, and the honoring of ancestors. Its images embody the eternal cycle of existence, where the past intertwines with the present, and the present finds common ground with ancient beliefs.
