Artists Sonia Atlantova and Oleksandr Klymenko transform fragments of ammunition boxes from the front lines of the war in Ukraine into sacred icons—works of witness, prayer, and hope for a just peace.

Hosted by Fairfield University’s Center for Social Impact and Center for Arts & Minds, this exhibition features 27 works, including selections from the Mariupol Deisis (2022), a new Marian series (2025) dedicated to Ukrainian children held in captivity, the icon of Mother of God with Child that was presented to Pope Leo XIV by Ukraine’s President and First Lady, and a newly created icon of St. Ignatius of Loyola.
