“Circle of the Year” Calendar

This calendar was designed as a potential souvenir product for thematic exhibitions, craft fairs, local markets, and cultural events that promote Ukrainian heritage and folk traditions.

The concept is based on the pre-Christian pagan worldview — the natural “circle of the year,” rooted in seasonal cycles, celebrations, and rituals that reflected the unity between humans and nature.

Each month features an original hand-drawn illustration inspired by ancient Ukrainian symbols and mythological motifs.

The visual language of the calendar is grounded in deep respect for ancestral roots and aims to revive cultural memory through a modern graphic approach. It serves not only as a decorative object but also as an educational artifact that reveals the spirit of a timeless yet living culture.
