«In Soviet times, the panel "The Tree of Life" was part of the decor of a Mariupol restaurant called "Ukraine" (now - "Aristocrat"). The sketches were made by the mosaic makers themselves. Alla Gorska is known (by her contemporaries such as V. Konstantinova and N. Svitlychna) as the most eager participant of the project: she was the first artist of the team to wake up and the last to finish the work in the evening, worked seven days a week, and paid attention to every mosaic detail for it to create the effect of movement in the interplay of raised-up and hollow surfaces.
After the tragic death of Horska in 1970, the panel was walled up. It was uncovered in October 2008; now, it is located on the fifth floor of the Mariupol restaurant but not exhibited to public as the room is out of use.»
