The climax of her role as Head of Editorials, this shoot focused on the way we use our appearances to metamorphose.Over the course of 5 days, with the collaboration of a hair stylist, and photographer, Maya underwent 5 hair cuts; from long tresses to a smooth buzz, each version is unrecognizable. Painting the image of ourselves as grown up barbie dolls, who says we have to stop playing with them.

Paper Orange

Paper Orange was an editorial for Muse Magazine Issue XXIII which intended to provide a commentary on the pandemic and historical hospital garb.
