With a strong interest in human behavior and anthropology her images explore the relation of her subjects and their environment. Her most recent project addresses issues of prejudice, cultural identity and violence as played out in the classist struggle in Mexico. Through staged documentary Maxine is able to highlight issues and realities she believes are important to address- to expose the injustice and violence of her country.
