COLLECTION
LOVELETTER TO KYIV | Spring 2023
Dreamlike in aesthetic, the designs reveal texture left behind from the war flowers which were burnt into the metal surface. The flowers were picked from the new frontlines in Kyiv and eternalised in recycled precious metals.
The project began in March when a brave Kyivan artist Olga Morozova agreed to go searching for flowers as her city fell ablaze. The pressed botanicals, were picked by Morozova in the first spring as frost thawed and bombing raids tormented Kyiv. The collection is a symbol of hope and flourishing in a time of great upheaval; a reminder that while life may be fragile, it is resilient.
Celebrating the creative voices of 6 Ukranian Muses behind the collection, who have the power to inspire and create.
20% sales to support artists in Ukraine.
MUSE
MISSIGA | MUSE
@Miss_iv, Missiga, is both a creative beauty and academic. Alongside her modelling and acting career, she is an economist and works in finance. Kyiv will always be her home, though at this time she has relocated to Peterborough, UK, until she can return to a peaceful Ukraine. In the early stages of war, she and her husband regularly filled their boot with food, nappies and baby food to drive to the greyzones and help young new families or set up aid community groups to help those most in need.
Drawn to her warmth, kindness of spirit and desire to do good in her community; the designs named after her are both delicate and light-to-the-touch, whilst also having a sociable design element.
SUPPORT
UKRAINE FOR THE FUTURE
20% of sales will go to Future of Ukraine, a foundation that artist Olga Morozova has set up for this collection and project.
The fund has been set up to help support talented young artists in Kyiv by providing essential art supplies and materials to further their skills.
Many students who remained in Kyiv during the war have been unable to escape the realities of frequent air raids, violence and disruptions. Olga has been teaching in the shelters, and has noticed how powerful this time can be to create art, build their own realities and nurture skills. With Olgas' teaching, and access to tools through this foundation, we can invest in the talented younger generations in Ukraine.
"I think this will help the gifted youth. Many students cannot buy the necessary materials (paints, canvases, ect.) and they really want the support. After all, they stayed in Kyiv, often working in extreme conditions, but they never ceased to enjoy life and hope."
