Kyiv, 2014

Continuation of the theme of magic squares set up by uniform numbered real-life material objects. The matrix 3x3, its sums by vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines are the same and equal to 15, is formed by beer cups of "Baltika" ("Baltics") brand positioned against light-yellow, seemingly flowing, "beer-like" background. Because there is no Baltika beer cup marked with "1", the cup of the first kind of Baltika beer ("svetloe" - "light") is used instead.
