This work continues the development of the Magic Wands series, exploring the full creative potential of the materials used.
It is based on the earlier model The Cathedral, created in 2010, which was constructed using only glue and ice cream sticks. That limitation was intentional — the original piece was part of a series of books and creative kits designed so that any child (or anyone interested in creativity and learning) could replicate it by following step-by-step illustrated instructions.
For this new version, no such constraints applied. Instead of a few days, the construction of this cathedral took several months.
The Cathedral includes an open inner space that can be filled or customized (see the photo above). Dimensions of the cross-shaped interior: 18.7 x 7.7 cm + 18.2 x 8.11 cm; height at the central peak is approximately 15 cm.
The metal figurines of the King, Queen, and Bishop are not part of the core work, but may be added optionally, as illustrated in the image.
Gothic reverie constructed in miniature: hundreds of natural wooden elements form a cathedral designed not just as shelter, but as sanctuary of clarity and remembrance.
This sculpture is the pinnacle of the "Magic Sticks" series by Zhamoido & Bulba.

Sanctuary of Light
Light carved softly in sticks and thread,
Forms a prayer where no words are said.
Each arch a whisper, each tower breath —
Resisting silence, resisting death.

Was truth a beam or broken shard?
This house of wood still stands on guard.
No one is sure what dwells within,
But footsteps echo where truth has been.

A cross of light and fragile wood,
In place where shadows once had stood.
And from the roof to open nave,
A soul may shelter. Or be brave.
________________________________________
Зібрані з попелу палички -
Вірші дерев, що мовчали,
Тепер виблискують в тиші
Шпилями храм увінчали

В його тиші— жодна сповідь,
Лиш вітри з дощем вгорі...
Піднімаються поволі
Стовпи неба — догори.

Світло різьблене у дереві тихо сяє,
Як чаша довіри, що серце тримає.
Де ніч не погуба, де душа ціла,
Летить в Піднебесся, бо має Крила.

He graduated with honors from the Art School. He has worked as a decorative artist, journalist, entrepreneur, and educator.  
Realizing that within the Soviet/post-Soviet educational system, it was impossible to work and develop effectively, since 1995, together with several like-minded individuals, he has been conducting classes with children and teenagers on a voluntary basis within the framework of an informal creative organization—the **Talented Artistic Offsprings (The Arts Observatory)**. He develops and implements a **New Educational System**.
### Author and co-author of: - A series of encyclopedias, books, creative kits, popular science, and web publications (with a total circulation of approximately one million copies sold). - Documentary and feature films.
### Participant (and winner) of exhibitions, forums, festivals, and conferences (including international ones).
He created and developed a unique style—**Jamoydism**.
**Jamoydism** is an art movement that synthesizes various techniques, materials, and approaches.
### One of its key messages: **"Hey, you in the back, do as Ja. But that doesn’t mean you should follow me. This track is only for Ja! Find your own path!"**

### *Talented Artistic Offsprings (The Arts Observatory)* An informal association created to overcome the lack of spirituality and culture in society, develop and implement the **New Educational System**, and unlock the universal, spiritual, and creative potential of every child and every person.
### **New Educational System** The key difference of the proposed educational system is the awakening and development of a person’s **spiritual, creative, and emotional potential** above all else.
It focuses not so much on intellect, memory, or rote memorization of facts (as in traditional school and extracurricular education), but rather on the **soul of the individual**, self-discovery, understanding the world and its phenomena, the ability to realize oneself and one’s ideas in life, prioritizing selflessness and values beyond personal gain, embracing and following **true universal human values**, and achieving genuine spiritual fulfillment.
