The concept of this work is a narrative of Ukraine’s ancient history, specifically the mighty Kingdom of Galicia-Volhynia. It is a contemplation of the subterranean heritage of my native land and the fate of eternal treasures, imbued with the warmth of generations of folk craftsmen. It reflects on my calling as an eternal seeker of hidden truths and history found among the fragments of ancient pottery, driven by a profound desire to preserve this legacy for future generations. The composition of the central part features a distinct silhouette of the Dormition Cathedral, which for many centuries towered in the very heart of the princely city of Halych. Its discovery by Yaroslav Pasternak in 1936 was a true triumph for Ukrainian science, as it culminated nearly a century of dedicated efforts by many generations of scholars.This central composition serves as a unifying element for the other six works, which depict the everyday lives and labors of master craftsmen.
