Original artwork description:

I created this image from a self-portrait, cornflower and an ornament. Each element has its deep meaning associated with the traditions of the Ukrainian people. Cornflower is one of the twelve flowers of the Ukrainian wreath. It symbolizes life, simplicity, kindness, spiritual beauty and purity. Its exotic beauty and deep, bright color are associated with sophistication and elegance. They are one of the few truly blue flowers found in nature, which makes them unique. I used it as an element that speaks of the autochthonous manifestation of a person, which cannot be contained by narratives. The eight-pointed star ornament is a combination of feminine and masculine principles that gives life to everything. As the beginning of true manifestations and calling of the heart. A self-portrait, as a personification of a person, a bodily life that has its own time. All elements make up the history of the beginning and the end of everything: man, thoughts, nation, freedom.
Half of the funds from the sold works go to the development of my creativity: training, materials, excrement and collecting money for my dream trip to India. I also support Ukrainians affected by the war and treatment of animals with a percentage of sales. This is close to me and very disturbing, because I come from a small village in the eastern territory of Ukraine. I have always been in close contact with animals, and my relatives are still in this area during the war.
