The work consisted of a jar with lard and pork rinds, an electric hot plate and a photo of the first President of Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk placed in lard. When the hot plate was on, lard in the jar melted, becoming transparent and revealing the preserved (mummified) image of the President.[5] Mausoleum for the President was completed before the presidential election. It summarized the "romantic" period of the modern history of Ukraine – acquiring independence.
