Design for the «30 in 30» Award Figurine

In the shaping of the figurine, accumulated experience becomes height. The number «30, ” representing the university’s thirty-year history, is translated from a flat plane into three-dimensional space: the connected contours of the digits are stretched upward, forming a unified tower shape. This growth is literally expressed in the form of the object—the digits gain height, making the time, development, and achievements of the graduates tangible.The overall pedestal unites the towers and symbolizes the university environment, which provides the foundation for independent growth. The award marks the height achieved by the graduate while simultaneously retaining the feeling of continuous upward movement.The architectural form literally references the name „Vyshka“ (Tower): the figurine itself becomes the embodiment of this image. The history of the university and the personal achievements of its graduates are brought together in a single spatial composition.
