The Gaze | Forging Hope: A Blacksmith's Sculpture to Support Ukraine's Army @TheGazeDigitalPlatform | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 21 hours ago.
This video tells the story of Oleksandr Shaposhnyk, a talented #blacksmith and displaced person from #Berdyansk, now working in #Zaporizhzhia. He is creating an impressive metal sculpture called "The Viburnum Girl," using 55 kilograms of wire salvaged from the energy infrastructure of Ukraine destroyed by Russia. The sculpture symbolizes the strength and resilience of Ukraine, which stands as a protector of the world against war. Once completed, Oleksandr plans to auction the sculpture abroad and donate all the proceeds to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Discover how art can aid in the fight for freedom.
The War-Born Art project is a series of videos that explore how the remnants of war—missile fragments, shell casings, and anti-tank weapon tubes—are transformed into unique works of art. These objects, crafted by Ukrainian artists and designers, symbolize the resilience and creativity of the Ukrainian people. In each video, you'll witness the process of creating these art pieces, hear the artists share their stories and motivations, and discover how instruments of destruction are turned into symbols of peace and renewal. This project stands as a testament to the power of creativity to inspire and unite, even in the darkest times.
