RECYCLED Venoks
Venok means Wreath in russian
In Slavic culture, the wreath was widely present in pagan cults and served as a protective amulet. Evolving with the time, the wreath is still carrying a strong symbolic power and
remains the most recognizable object of the Ukrainian culture.
Using traditional technics of wreath making, I recycle ancient Ukrainian symbols and associate them with contemporary objects. This combination offers an innovative image of national identity and reflects the current cultural state in the era of globalization. art
