Ukrainian artist Ganna Bogachuk and Latvian artists Those Guys Lighting created the artwork where Ukrainian ethnic ornamental symbols elements seem very familiar to Latvian symbols. It is an amazing work - traditional ornament in tandem with light technologies. The artwork combines traditional techniques and modern lighting technologies technique.

Artists created round artwork with ethnic Ukrainian ornaments in “mandala” style. The main idea is to show how ancient and outstanding Ukrainian culture is and is a basis for our independence and freedom. Some of the ornaments are similar for Ukrainian and Latvian culture but have different symbolic meanings. This fact shows how close we are that is why we feel such support and understanding. Ganna is going to paint semi-transparent colorful ornaments on milk acrylic glass and Those Guys Lighting lighten up the contours and other areas with colorful dynamic LED lighting.
