The project was realized in 2021 in Сracow by Ukrainian artists Roman Butym and Pavlo Kyryk. For three months, the authors visited local municipal waste collection points, using trash as decorations for the project. The project was nominated in the 8th edition of the Fine Art Photography Awards (London, 2021).

The exhibition space is a metaphor for the future, where climate change has already become a reality, and environmental pollution has fundamentally altered the familiar landscape. The home has become a place of nostalgia for nature, and artifacts such as dried wildflowers or seeds have become valuable collectible items.
During the exhibition, it will be possible to participate in a charity raffle, and buy exhibited photo prints. All income will be donated to the Come Back Alive Foundation, a professional volunteer organization helping Ukraine win the war against Russia.
