“Gravity”:
Women’s shirts “From my mother’s chest” and “Vine” are closely related to the theme of the exhibition. The pandemic really limited social ties, which affected art in general. However, we had an invaluable opportunity to communicate with our relatives, to trace the relationship of traditions, to feel the power of human attraction. Also, the attraction to Ukrainian traditions – holidays, songs, folk costumes, etc.
Women’s shirts “From my mother’s chest” and “Vine” are made on the basis of traditional Bukovinian and Pokut shirts, which testifies to their connection with modern decorative and applied art of Ukraine.
