My Shrine Of Ceres, part of the Biodiversity Shrine Project. A two-part shrine in the shape of Gothic church windows, built three-dimensionally from cardboard painted white with gesso. On the left, an embroidered ear of grain on blue fabric. On the right, a real one on golden fabric. Decorated with folklore braids and showing traditional Ukrainian embroidery patterns with tree-of-life symbols.
