Alina Haieva

...And flowers will sprout on the ashes

A project that combines form and meaning. The value of the ornament on the clothes is enhanced by the incredibly fine calligraphy of the font and inscriptions. The artists emphasize the profound implications that grow deep into the history of Ukraine, a powerful state, interpreting it into the country's modern reality.

The foundation for Alina Haieva's graphic works is the reinterpretation of various embroidery techniques of Ukrainian Cossack elders of the 17th - 18th centuries. Specifically, the embroidery that adorned the clothes of the Cossack military and administrative governing body was built on materials from the collection of the Chernihiv Historical Museum named after V.V. Tarnovsky.

An ornament is a pattern with its code, a genetic amulet of the Ukrainian nation. This is a rather complex system, created from various elements, signs, and symbols that interact with each other and create a comprehensive energetic picture, which is profoundly difficult to understand today. Both at the simplest and most complex stages in the development of ornament, the Ukrainian people turn to their native nature. Still, they do not simply copy the surrounding reality but elaborate, simplify, stylize and create their unique style with their conventional pattern.

The combination of Ukrainian history, ancient Ukrainian embroidery techniques, and symbolic images, consciously rethought by the Ukrainian artist, is a new reality and the fundamental genetic code of modern Ukraine.
The project was created during hostility and a full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine.
