Ganna Bogachuk took four basic ethnic figures and remake it in more modern digital way to create ornaments for napkins.

Star
Combination of male and female sources, harmony between space and people, eight sides of the world. Often used in Christmas rites.

Rhomb
Rhomb and square was solar sign, pure energy of life, power of action.

Three of life
Symbol of memory about our roots and ancestors. Tree of life always had seven branches because Ukrainians believed they have to remember seven generation of their family. It’s about knowing who we are and from where we came.

Bird
There is a tale in folk art that birds saw the birth of universe. They mean souls of nature and spirits that help us from sky. Also birds is a symbol of pure freedom.

Una Bērziņa brought these ornaments to life on hight-quality the table napkins.
