Joya: AiR / Femke Bosma / NED

Arriving at Joya: AiR felt a lot like a release of tension. The pressure to move with the speed of daily city life immediately fell away and I would eat breakfast in the sun and enjoy the silence. In those moments I was able to reflect on my life back home and the way I had been working for the past years.
I remember the silence alternating with having fun with the wonderful people that where at Joya during my stay. Playing card games, eating great meals together, watching films and walking around the beautiful hills. I also had a lot of fun returning  to experimentation with photography, which was a bit of a surprise as someone who works mainly with audio. But it had meant I felt the freedom to follow the creative hunch that I felt while at Joya.
