Set in the heart of a vast, golden Ukrainian wheat field and under a gentle blue sky, the Peace Pavilion is a place of tranquility and calmness. Ukrainian artist Max Sheika invites us into a compelling story of turning pain into power as he honors the brave people of Ukraine who stood up to protect their home.
Built to be experienced in the Metaverse on Spatial.io, the large floor-to-ceiling windows give you a 360-degree boundless view out to the horizon as soothing sounds of birds and moving water fill the air. Sheika’s architecture incorporates cloth segments that subtly 'breathe', giving a sensation of liveness to the building itself. “Inside the pavilion, you will find a portal in the ceiling, a portal to a peaceful sky where no fighter jets fly, where no rockets are whistling. There are no explosions, no roaring sounds of tanks,” Sheika expresses. “Just a peaceful blue sky, a dream of every Ukrainian, of every human being.”

"Spatial hosted a 'Peace and Unity' gallery event in a brand new NFT environment 'Peace Pavilion', created by artist Max Sheika, to raise funds for Ukraine. In collaboration with Polycount and Opensea, art is being featured from Ringo Starr (yes, the Beatle), Krista Kim, Vogue Singapore, and many others. The art evokes messages of peace, unity, and freedom, and all the artists have agreed to have their work displayed in a sign of solidarity with the people of Ukraine." — bitcoininsider.org
