Drevo

Drevo is a meditation on the Tree of Life — Drevo zhyttia — a powerful, enduring symbol in Ukrainian folk tradition. For generations, women painted this motif onto the clay walls of their homes. It wasn’t decoration in the modern sense, but something more essential: a gesture of protection, a channel for energy, a way of embedding meaning into space. Painted above windows, on ovens, around doorways, these symbols turned homes into places that could breathe, protect, and hold memory.
