Our Life | Наше життя November | Листопад 2020 burned out of ancestral homes. Millions of people were sacrificed to that cause. Again, the nuclear explosion at Chernobyl is the sad reminder of how a nation falls victim in the name of progress. The material comes from the everyday adornments and family heirlooms that could be found in any Ukrainian home, on either continent: embroideries, carved frames, handicraft that gives identity and bonding to a larger national group. Mementos are in the form of printed holy cards; sacrifice is symbolized by liturgical chalices appended to the surface of the frame. The compelling use of ecclesiastical attributes is a direct reflection of the impact made upon her by the desecrated churches she witnessed during Bodnar-Balahutrak’s very first visit to Ukraine in the spring of 1991. Yet it is equally significant that Lydia Bodnar-Balahutrak’s affinity toward liturgical symbols belies a genealogical, as well as a cultural link with Ukraine. Her paternal grandfather was a Ukrainian Catholic priest, a vocation that carries with it the designation not only of guardian of the faith, but also preserver of the culture. In the past, she dedicated her work, not only in name but in subject, to her grandparents whose guidance instilled in her a love for a heritage that she could only know from afar. 29 БЛАГОДІЙНІСТЬ Тривалий Фонд Центру CУA з Жіночих Cтудій в УКУ UNWLA Endowment for Women’s Studies at UCU Фонд Духовного Розвитку України Fund for Spiritual Growth in Ukraine Пресовий Фонд «Нашого життя» Our Life Press Fund Фонд Cуспільної Опіки Social Welfare Fund $500 Chortkiw Foundation In memory of Natalia Hewko : $150 Annetta Hewko & M.
