An impressive piece of land art can be found along the Poland-Ukraine border, transcending traditional border markers. This remarkable "crop circle" fish, symbolizing the unity of the two nations, was created by artist Jaroslaw Koziara on a section of farmland. The artwork not only showcases creativity but also serves as a poignant reminder of the shared history and cultural ties between Poland and Ukraine.
Created for the Land Art Festival in 2011, this live artwork beautifully illustrates the harmonious relationship between creativity and agriculture, bridging the borders of Horodyszcze, Poland, and Warez, Ukraine. Artist Jaroslaw Koziara's fish transforms the border into a canvas that celebrates themes of harmony and cooperation. By planting a variety of plant species, the artwork becomes visible from the sky, showcasing the intersection of art and nature.
