This week, one of my friends went for a conference in Côte d'Ivoire, so he asked me to look after his place while he was gone. It is situated in the more exclusive part of Dakar close to beautiful beaches and delicious restaurants, and no shouting mosques. Not only that, the place is also equipped with a garden with a pool, a generator meaning no power cuts and WARM water!! Who can say no to a week in that kind of luxury?! Little did I know that the apartment is part of the coolest art house! The artist collects metal, bottle caps, broken glass or mirrors or whatever she can find in the streets. She then use these materials to make all sorts of incredible art pieces:
 |
| The garden with art work hanging from the house |
 |
| The workshop where the guard is having his breakfast and one of the artist's employees is stamping out bottle caps |
 |
| The famous Senegalese musician Youssou Ndour perpetuated in bottle caps |
