#Repost @ukraine.ua with @use.repost . . . The "Ukrainian Phoenix" rose up at the Burning Man festival 🔥 The installation, kept secret until recently, was hidden in a wooden box, similar to the protection of sculptures in Ukrainian cities. On 31 August, the box was symbolically burned, and an 8-metre-high metal phoenix emerged from the fire, its outline reminiscent of the stylised Ukrainian trident.
The iron phoenix-trident born from fire has become a powerful image of modern Ukraine. "They tried to kill us, but we were reborn and became stronger," the organisers said 🇺🇦
