Abrykosy - Embroidered Shirt Inspired by Lyuba Yakymchuk

This linen shirt is inspired by the powerful metaphor "Abrykosy" (Apricots) created by Ukrainian poet Lyuba Yakymchuk. The metaphor reflects the deep, talented, and resilient spirit of the Ukrainian East, particularly the Luhansk region, and uses the image of blooming apricot trees as a symbol of life, growth, and strength. The poet's imagery contrasts the beauty of Ukraine's East with the destructive force of war, representing hope and a vision for the region's flourishing future.

Lyuba Yakymchuk's Vision

Lyuba Yakymchuk, a modern Ukrainian poet, created the metaphor of apricots to challenge the negative perceptions often associated with Donbas. Her collection, "Apricots of Donbas," published in 2015, became a beacon of hope for the region, emphasizing the positive imagery of apricot trees that thrive in the East of Ukraine, near the border with Russia. For Yakymchuk, the blooming of these trees represents the deep cultural and historical roots of Ukraine, full of struggle and the will to prosper.
