The Urals as a fairytale land: An artist created a series of tableware celebrating the beauty of nature.

A Yekaterinburg artist has released a collection of plates called "My Ural" Svetlana Zapariy and the "Antifragility" project. The author "transferred images of the Urals onto tableware."

"I create illustrations with elements of the Ural nature, combining them into circular compositions. The circle symbolizes a round dance, unity, the sun, and the cycle of nature."" , Svetlana said. For her, the Urals are a "fairytale land" filled with "treasures."

These are five stories. For example, Ural peony — “graceful, vibrant, grown in harsh conditions,” “support for those who are learning to combine fragile beauty and unwavering resilience.” The Wise Ural Heron can be a source of strength for those seeking "balance and peace of mind." And the dexterous lizards, who are able to “let go of an important part of themselves and adapt to even the most difficult circumstances,” can teach resilience and antifragility. Goldfinches symbolize love of life and optimism, and mushrooms - intuition and self-knowledge.

The "Antikhrippkost" experimental laboratory operates at the Sysert Porcelain factory and interacts directly with the researchers. "No other manufacturing facility in the country has such a practice," the project description states.
