The graphic work “UKR, 2024” is a symbolic image that unites the historical heritage and modern exploits of Ukrainians, embodied in the form of a trident – the national emblem of Ukraine. This work honors the idea of the ancient UKRs, legendary heroes who, according to ancient legends, dug up the Black Sea and filled in the Carpathians, symbolizing the mythical greatness and power of the Ukrainian people. At the same time, it pays tribute to the titans of our time – the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who are fighting for the freedom and independence of their country today.
The symbolism of the trident.
The trident is the central element in this graphic work. It is not just a state symbol, but an archetypal sign of the unity of Ukraine’s past, present and future. The graphic work emphasizes that historical myths about the Ukrainian National Army are closely related to the struggle of modern Ukrainians for their existence.
Ancient UKRs.
The historical legend of the UKRs includes the idea of a powerful, ancient people who had the ability to change the natural landscape: they dug up the Black Sea and filled in the Carpathians. This image in the “UKR, 2024” graphic serves as a symbol to emphasize the greatness of Ukrainians as a people of creators who have always been capable of great achievements and had an unbreakable spirit.
Titans of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The current titanic efforts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are a continuation of this strength and courage. The soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have become the defenders and heroes of our time, embodying the spirit of the ancient Ukrainian armed forces, but in the modern struggle – not for natural change, but for independence, peace and freedom.
Visual elements
In the composition of the work, we can see a fusion of archaic motifs with modern elements of military symbolism. The lines of the trident can be depicted in the style of ancient ornaments or strict geometric shapes that symbolize modernity. The use of deep blue and yellow colors can emphasize state symbols.
Thus, the graphic work “UKR, 2024” is a powerful visual manifesto of the unity of the historical heritage and modern struggle of Ukrainians, embodied in the trident as an eternal symbol of strength, invincibility and will of the Ukrainian people.
Sounds good, doesn’t it?
However, there is one BUT.
Is it all true or a myth?
There is still a heated debate about who, why, and where UKRs come from.
UKR – as a symbol of strength and spirit, which is dedicated to the titans of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and all those who stand on the bright side of goodness and justice. And opposes the side of darkness, the cunning of rU-evil.
ps. With such a “David and Goliath” struggle of today, it is even easy to believe that Ukrainians were able to create the Black Sea and the Carpathians. And also, to build a five-meter fence on the border with Russia and pour concrete all over it…
