"Bavovna" is a mixed media collage artwork deeply rooted in Ukraine's recent history. The word gained popularity and became a meme during the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 when aggressors attempted to downplay Ukrainian defense attacks. Instead of acknowledging explosions, they claimed to have heard only a popping sound, expressed as "был услышан хлопок" in Russian. A linguistic misstep occurred when "хлопок" was mistakenly translated into Ukrainian as "бавовна" (bavovna), meaning "cotton."
Today, Ukrainians cleverly employ "bavovna" to humorously describe explosive incidents at enemy military bases, symbolizing the resourcefulness, defiance, and humor of the Ukrainian people. The artwork "Bavovna" encapsulates this captivating narrative, inviting viewers to explore the intricacies of language, warfare, and cultural resistance.

Methods and techniques: mixed media painting collage on a cradled wood panel. Various mediums, including acrylics, ink, acrylic markers, pens, and spray paint, are applied to wet media polyester film, creating layers of depth and texture. These elements are then cut and collaged onto the panel, further enhancing the multidimensional nature of the artwork. Finally, the piece is finished with a glossy resin coating, enriching the colors and providing a luminous sheen. The included hanging hardware consists of D-rings and wire for immediate hanging, although professional framing will offer the best display results.
