JULIA SHAMSHEIEVA | VOICE OF UKRAINE. FROM SHADOWS TO RADIANCE, SPIRITS AWAKENED
Maria Hueber Platz
IMAGINE PEACE ARTIST
Voice of Ukraine reveals the inner strength and resilience of the Ukrainian people. Rooted in centuries-old culture yet interpreted through a contemporary lens, the work places the female figure at its centre as a symbol of Ukraine. Dolya, Nedolya, Bereginya and Morena represent fate, trial, protection and renewal — artistic interpretations of Ukrainian myths embedded within a broader European cultural context. The animation portrays a partially veiled, singing face inspired by the faceless Motanka doll, a traditional symbol of protection and harmony. Through an interplay of light and darkness, the projection speaks of memory, loss and hope. It is accompanied by a sound composition blending motifs of traditional Ukrainian songs with contemporary arrangements.
