Flower shirt
The Etnodim project, which explores embroidery as thinking.
We created a shirt made of flowers. After all, Ukrainian embroidery is deeply intertwined with the natural world. The recurring ornamental motifs of birds, plants, trees, and flowers serve as a testament to how previous generations elevated nature into poetry, not only in folklore but through the medium of decorative art.
This project is an exploration of how the rhythm and structure of an embroidered shirt exist beyond the fabric itself. After all, embroidery is a system governed by its own internal logic.
This approach defines the Etnodim philosophy: rather than merely replicating tradition, we deconstruct its core principles and reinterpret them within new contexts.
