It also shows the importance of our collaboration with V-Art. |
VISION AND INSPIRATION
The Ukrainian Pavilion design is inspired by the symbol of the sunflower, the national flower of Ukraine.
Although sunflowers did not arrive in Ukraine from the Americas in the 18th century, Ukraine is now the world’s biggest sunflower oil exporter, producing 70% of the world’s supply.
Sunflowers also act as a symbol of peace that you can see in the woven decorations in clothes and headdresses during celebrations.
