The sculptures created by Oleksandr Shaposhnyk have been displayed in different cities and towns around Ukraine, including his native Berdiansk. The artist taught the smithcraft at the Berdiansk Machine-Building Vocational Lyceum. He planned to open the Blacksmith Center at the end of February 2022. Instead of celebrating that long-awaited event, he had to face the war, life in occupation, and complicated evacuation. At the beginning of April, Oleksandr left the temporarily occupied town.
