In her documentary-style photographs, Maia aims to capture moments of transition where the subject is the point of tension between the environment and the audience. In those instants, she invites you to appreciate a mundane beauty in the simple acts of life, be it an expression or an action. Maia imprints a wonder for places and people who often are not seen in passing. She believes in social equity and thus, the profit from her work aims to support non-profit organizations that advocate for education, child protection, and human restoration projects.
