Symbolic pendant with Archangel Michael, the Patron Saint of Kyiv, and the famous words “Glory to Heroes!” and “We Will Win”. This work complements the pendant with Berehynia, creating a logical combination of symbolics. It is a pleasant fact that the customer is an American who has been rooting for Ukraine and its victory since the very first days of the war. It was his idea to take as a basis the sculpture of Archangel Michael on Independence Square, and he also asked to make the inscriptions in Ukrainian. For me, as a Ukrainian, this is particularly significant! The design of the pendant, sculpture and 3D rendering is my work. The original size of the pendant is about 2.5 inches. But since this is a digital sculpture and custom, the real product can be available in a fairly wide range of sizes. I decided to make a symbolic support of the words ”We Will Win“ with the rays of the Sun, in memory of Dzhokhar Dudayev's saying: “Russia will disappear from the face of the Earth when the Ukrainian Sun rises!” It is that time.
