Icons on Ammo Boxes

by Sofia Atlantova, Oleksandr Klymenko

For their ongoing Icons on Ammo Boxes project, the contemporary Ukrainian artists Sofia Atlantova and Oleksandr Klymenko salvage the wooden lids of ammunition boxes from the eastern front in Ukraine, which has been destabilized for the past five years by Russian-backed separatist forces. Then, with egg tempera—and, in some cases, colored pencils—Atlantova and Klymenko transform these panels into icons of Christ and the saints.
