In July 2022, Russian forces destroyed two monumental mosaics in Mariupol: 'Boryviter' and 'Tree of Life', created in 1967 by Alla Horska and Viktor Zaretskyi. Now, 'Boryviter' — meaning 'kestrel' — has been carefully recreated in Kyiv using 1,250 pieces and over 700 kg of salvaged materials from across Ukraine and abroad. From smalt and tiles to aluminium spoons, every element tells a story of resilience. 🎨 The project was initiated by Ukraine WOW and ROZETKA, in partnership with the Fund of Alla Horska and Viktor Zaretskyi. It brought together 15 artists and researchers, led by Alla Horska's granddaughter Olena Zaretska and cultural manager Anastasiia Ishchenko. It took six weeks of intense work to complete the mobile installation. Alla Horska was a Ukranian artist, dissident and one of the most prominent figures of the Ukrainian Sixtiers movement. She was known not only for her mosaics and monumental works, but also for her courageous human rights activism. She was murdered by the Soviet regime in 1970 at just 41 years old — but her voice and vision live on through her art.
