Stake attention in this memory
An overhead, high-angle shot captures a paved pedestrian area featuring an embedded commemorative plaque and the feet of an individual. The ground consists of grey and black speckled granite paving stones arranged in a running bond pattern, exhibiting various wet patches. Centrally positioned in the lower mid-ground is a square, dark grey metallic plaque, flush with the pavement. This plaque displays an enlarged reproduction of a Ukrainian postage stamp, commemorating Lesya Ukrainka. The stamp design features a stylized, vibrant portrait of a woman, identified as Lesya Ukrainka, surrounded by intricate folk art-inspired floral and natural motifs, including red berries, green leaves, and a butterfly. Text on the stamp includes "2021 UKRAЇNA" at the top right, "УКРАЇНА" vertically along the left side, the denomination "2700" below the portrait, and "ЛЕСЯ УКРАЇНКА. 1871-1913" at the bottom. Below the stamp image, directly on the metal plaque, the name and dates are repeated in both Cyrillic ("ЛЕСЯ УКРАЇНКА. 1871-1913") and Latin script ("LESIA UKRAINKA. 1871-1913"). A small black and white QR code is visible in the bottom right corner of the metallic plaque. In the foreground, at the bottom of the frame, a person's feet are visible, wearing black canvas high-top sneakers with white toe caps, white laces tied into bows, and white soles. The image is illuminated by natural light, and the wet surfaces suggest recent moisture. This installation is part of the "Philatelic Alley" project, located on Khreshchatyk Street, Kyiv, Ukraine.
