Ordinary pumpkins, sunflowers, birch logs with betonies, as if rapidly "flying" from space into the Rufova's picture "on the way" to another space - the earth.
These simple things, grown by people, as if freed "from any guardianship" of a person, symbolize his ideas about well-being, fertility, happiness.
The sunflower was considered a symbol of fertility.
The triple image of a pumpkin is also a symbol of the cosmos in miniature, and the creative power of nature, and the unity of the two first parents, and the mystery of being.
For Christians, pumpkin means resurrection, pilgrimage and is an attribute of the Archangel Raphael and St. James the Great.
