This year's Ceremony Hall is inspired by the beauty in Ukrainian culture.
The ice columns in the very front of the room were inspired by folk patterns, specifically cross-stitching patterns on traditional clothing. The backrests of the benches portray flowers and animals symbolizing the power of life, and the ornamental patterns carved in the walls of the hall are symbolizing durability and indomitable power of nature: The renewal of life and strength returning each spring.
The message we want to send to people who experience this ceremony hall is to see and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us.
