Those Days Were so Orange is a melancholic personal project reflecting on a formative adolescent period spent in a shared attic in Lviv, Ukraine. For three years, Pavlo lived with nine roommates in a small two-room space near the Opera House. With only three residents at a time, the apartment constantly shifted, forming a fragile micro-community that became an archive of everyday life, relationships, and memory.
On February 24, 2022, they were forced to flee the war, and the people who once lived there are now scattered across the world. What remains is the memory of the space itself — especially summers filled with orange light, as sunsets merged with approaching storms.
