In Ukrainian families, the Christmas tree is not just an ornament, the Christmas tree is a guardian, it is a symbol of light, hope and prosperity that the coming year will bring a better future.
The concept of "Berehynia" from the decorators of LoraShen for the shopping centre Ocean Plaza is inspired by this ancient custom.
The main Christmas tree is framed by hearts that fly into a million small heart particles. It is a symbol of the heart of Ukrainians, which is punished by the pain and horrors of war, but at the same time opens up to even more love, kindness and understanding.
Branches are branches that stretch up in hope and silent request for a bright future.
Animals and birds, which are generously decorated with the Christmas tree and atriums of the shopping centre are love for all living things, as a prototype of Mother Earth, who is also the Guardian, loves and protects all living things on earth.
Red necklaces instead of garlands are a kind of reference to the Ukrainian woman-beregina, who, despite all the challenges, remains elegant and attractive, sometimes in spite of fate!
This symbolism and secret meaning in each toy and element in this Christmas concept is designed to collect one whole image of the Guardian piece by piece, one puzzle by piece.
Every detail of the Christmas concept "Berehynia" was created in Kyiv, Ukraine, at its own production LoraShen.
