"Our Pink House" is an installation by artist Olek. It's dedicated to people forced to flee their homes due to conflict. Olek worked with female refugees from Syria and Ukraine to create over 90 miles of crochet used to entirely cover two houses in Sweden and Finland. Olek says working with those women was both inspiring and empowering and she hoped their project would be able to show what women can achieve when they come together.
