COSMIC KALI
Official artwork for the third edition of the Women and the World International Film Festival, London, 2026.
“Through Cosmic Kali, I wanted to celebrate the strength, courage and creative spirit of women. At the centre is a woman; around her, a universe of nature, stars and living forms. Her many arms reflect the many roles we carry, while the gold emerging from deep blue speaks of hope and renewal. For me, Kali embodies our power to embrace change, find strength through uncertainty and create new beginnings.”
— Mariya Dykalo, British–Ukrainian artist and designer
