This pysanka coin design was inspired by the recent wave of Ukrainians who arrived in Canada seeking refuge and new beginnings, just as my own grandparents did after the Second World War. My goal was to create a design that radiated hope, faith, and resilience, by drawing on ancient pysanka symbols but with a contemporary aesthetic.

For color, I drew inspiration from nature: barvinok (periwinkle) is an evergreen vine with bright green leaves and purple flowers, often the first to appear in spring.
