Log in Share: Back to Grants listing Application summary MEREZHKA is an openwork pattern made in place of the threads pulled out of the fabric. It is inherent in Ukrainian vyshyvanka and for me, as I am Ukrainian, it is a certain sacred symbol. If you draw an analogy with my work, the process of writing music is something deep, connected to who you are and where you come from, your identity and at the same time – open to free creative thought, to new patterns, ideas and improvisation. Every time the music is performed in public by itself or in combination with other art forms, it is a new musical pattern – a new MEREZHKA.
