It’s a sculpture on the grounds of St. Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv.
It brings together two symbols:
A traditional Belgian house - a symbol of peaceful, cozy Europe.
And hands in the colours of the Ukrainian flag, pierced by real bullets from the front - a symbol of a fighting Ukraine, defending Europe

When I enter an old building, the first thing I do is look up.
Chandeliers and ceilings are my special love.
This chandelier in St. Sophia Cathedral (built in 1037) is gorgeous.
I don’t know which century it’s from.
Ukraine is more than the war.

Minor damages in Kyiv,

I feel better,
still weak but less than yesterday.
