After a couple of weeks of evacuation, I reproduced my apartment left in Vinnytsia, Ukraine on February 24th. “Glass house” is a trip around memory objects connected with home (archetypes of home, tree, way, home decoration) and navigating and wandering inside the metaphysical virtual landscape.

I was one of those who could not believe in the probability of a full-scale Russian invasion until the last. I have to admit that I was wrong. Evacuation forces the world of material culture items, carefully collected for many years, to be filtered down to the few most necessary positions. For instance, I took no artwork and only one book from the library. Fragile items of home decor — vases or porcelain figurines from communist times, which had no utilitarian function but humanised the home — also did not make it into the emergency suitcase.
