Kolo

2022

120 cm x 120 cm

Kolo was designed in February 2022, during the outbreak of War in Ukraine. This was a time of deep introspection, during this period of darkness Wood created a piece to pay tribute to Ukraine and emit hope and light. The title ‘Kolo’ is Ukrainian for ‘Circle’, which also references the traditional south Slavic circle dance. The dance is usually performed amongst groups of several dozen people. Dancers hold each other’s hands or each other’s waists. They form a circle, a single chain or multiple parallel lines.
