This work was created as a symbol of preserving Ukrainian identity and memory of the native land. A golden maple leaf is placed on a blue background, with iconic Ukrainian images woven into its veins: Motherland, the Trident, and the bell tower of St. Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv. The gold emphasizes the value of memories and gives the composition a sense of sacredness.
The painting belongs to the series “Golden Threads of Memory,” which is dedicated to the theme of connection with the Motherland even from a distance. The symbols woven into the leaf remind us that Ukrainian culture and history remain with us regardless of current events and where we are. This work is a quiet conversation with the past that lives in our hearts.
