About

A fragment of embroidered Bukovinian textile, discovered during the artist's military service, fused with an aged metal plate found in an underground shelter near the Dniester.

The embroidery, carrying the floral language of the Ukrainian landscape, is preserved in wax and transformed into a solid, shield-like object.

A fragile domestic fragment becomes a monument to what endures.

Kvitucha is a symbol of a Ukraine that continues to bloom — through memory, love and resilience.
