Kos, Greece, 06.09





Yaya Katina, is 93 years old. She lives in Lagoudi, on the island of Kos in Greece. I met her through the years, when visiting my mother. She has 11 children, who all live abroad with their families. She spends most of her days barefoot, has no electricity in her house, neither hot water. From time to time she goes for a walk behind the village to collect a few flowers and sit down by a crossroad, where the hesitating tourists pass-by in their rental cars without even noticing her. She has witnessed almost a century of history on her island, from the Turkish occupation to the tourists invasion.
