King Fish
Oxana Kulish
In this work, the main archetypes are the fish, the crown, and the star. The image of the fish symbolizes fertility, wealth, wisdom, and sexuality. The crown as a precious headdress is a symbol not only of royal power but also of success, the so-called “crown” achievement in life. A star is depicted at the top of the crown, because the numerous meanings of the star in Ukrainian folklore imply, among other things, the following meaning - each person has his own star in the sky. In Ukrainian cosmogonic legends, the veneration of the mythical fish, which was “from the primeval age” has been preserved: it saw everything, knew everything, what is and what will be. This wonderful fish is found in ancient Ukrainian lullabies.
