Original artwork description:

When you try to resurrect the past in all known ways, cling to it, because you don't want to accept changes. Change is unknown, so it can be painful. Therefore, it is better to freeze, to become petrified in one's beliefs and ideologies, to turn into a pillar of salt. So who are we if the past has no longer power over us? How to identify yourself? And are we able to rise higher, above ourselves, and see the bigger picture? To see ourselves as a part of all living things, as part of something grand and ubiquitous, to see not with your eyes, but to feel (there is such a vision). Only those of us who really want it, are able to.
Here's ukrainian girl in wreath (it's a part of national traditional costume), my interpretation. She's (her clothes, wreath, maybe) a symbol of past. Not as a human creature, but as way of thinking.
