The tapestry Klyuchiv’s Bride embodies the beauty of Ukrainian wedding traditions. It was inspired by the image of a bride adorned with a lavish white wreath made of goose feathers — a symbol of purity, light, and celebration.
I first encountered this image as a teenager in old photographs that left a deep impression on me. Created later in Canada, the tapestry gains new meaning — its decorative form merges the past and present, blending folk motifs with abstraction.
This work brings depth and elegance to any space while preserving a living connection to cultural heritage. Klyuchiv’s Bride stands as a bridge between generations and cultures, where the past seamlessly intertwines with the present, weaving the fabric of memory.
