I visited Yaya on a hot summer day in 2018. She just got home from a trip to Europe. All around her living room were the things she used for her trip, on the table, sofa, floor and chairs. And between all of her things her cat lay asleep, completely ignoring us. Originally we had planned to go outside and take pictures somewhere in the countryside. But I asked her if we could take some pictures in her apartment first. So we started with some portraits and didn’t stop for the whole shoot. Because of the fantastic light and the great atmosphere in your house, we lost the idea of going outside. And the kind of pictures I took totally hid the clutter around us.
