When a person is forced to leave their home and flee from war, they can only take one bug-out suitcase with them. The most valuable, the most necessary things are put there. What would a person put there? A person would put their whole house there, which they love very much. Familiar stars in the night sky. Evening tea with cookies. A cat curled up on the bed. Comfortable home slippers. A chandelier in the kitchen that softly shines with warm light. Tomato preserves, carefully prepared for the winter. A soft chair, where it is so convenient to read books in the evenings. Your whole house.
