Sunrise by the Sea is the third and final work in the Reflection series — the one that looks forward rather than inward.

At the centre of the composition is a circle: a symbol of the Sun, of eternity, of continuous movement. Within the structure, an anchor appears — taken from the coat of arms of Mariupol, grounding the work in place, in history, in identity. The radiating lines around it carry two inherited visual languages simultaneously: traditional Ukrainian cross-stitch embroidery, and the sacred geometry of ancient Greece — both present in Mariupol's own origins as a Greek colonial settlement. Some rays end in tetrahedrons, forms that symbolise fire, and that carry a quiet contemporary echo: the shape of anti-tank hedgehogs.

At the centre sits a female figure watching the sunrise. Not triumphant, not broken — simply present. Watching. This is what resilience looks like when it is not performed.

This is the third work in the Reflection series. Reflection 18×18 and Mari u Polia are available on my Artfinder profile.
