Kharkiv artist Valentyna Huk, known as "Sun," creates unique mosaics from glass fragments shattered by Russian shelling.

Yana Tarhonia, an artist from Ukraine, crafted a one-of-a-kind symbol of peace as a dove adorned with blue and yellow colors. This unique piece was made using shattered pieces of stained glass from Kyiv's St. Nicholas Church, which was severely damaged during a Russian attack on December 20, 2024. Cardinal Konrad Krajewski then gifted the dove to Pope Francis.
