About the event:
“Menorah Center continues its series of events that explore cultural depth through live dialogue, co-creation, and personal engagement.
This time, we invite you to the ‘Garden of Life’ — a space where the past and the future, tradition and transformation, meet and bloom.
Two artistic languages will converge: painting and jewelry art — united in one deep story.
Alina Gaeva is an artist whose visual language is born from Ukrainian ornaments, Cossack embroidery, and ritual textiles. Her series ‘Garden of Life’ blends calligraphy with baroque style — each canvas is a symbol that touches the inner self.
Olena Zavorotnia is the founder of the AGA.TE jewelry studio, which treats adornment as a cultural expression. Her pieces are more than objects — they are carriers of meaning: amulets, family symbols, and gestures of identity that invite us to remember, feel, and pass on.
Together, they create a unique space — ‘THE GARDEN’ — where image becomes form and each creation bridges generations.”
Event highlights:
Visual Installation: 14 chiffon paintings by Alina Gaeva — inspired by Ukrainian symbols, with the Tree of Life at the center.
Jewelry Collection Presentation: by Olena Zavorotnia (AGA.TE), featuring symbolic artifacts of culture and identity.
Artist Tour: Alina Gaeva guides guests through the meanings and stories behind ‘The Garden of Life’ series.
Live Dialogue with the Artist: featuring metaphorical cards to explore our inner garden and the language of subconscious symbols.
Join the event — and become part of the Garden of Life.
This is an experience that continues to grow within.
