In the accompanying interview Yai shares her views on beauty and also spoke about her love of painting:
“Since her early days of modeling, “I’ve had a habit of drawing on my pillowcases at hotels,” she confesses. “It started off as a habit when I was younger. I would just draw on my bedsheets.” When she began her modeling career and found herself with hours of downtime in hotel rooms around the world, she would ask her team for canvases and painting supplies and begin to explore. It was time to stop defacing the linens. Now, she paints friends; one of the things she’s working on is a picture of the singer Daniel Caesar.”
