Mayma

 

---

Mayma’s esoteric otherworldly cave draws you in with intrigue. The wonderful weird trinkets outside beckon you in and tease you to quench the thirst of curiosity.

As a co-director for this series, rambling through the streets of Barcelona, frantically searching everyone’s face for a story, I found her bizarre and beautiful shrine. As enigmatic and alluring as her arcane alcove, she is an innate psychologist with an old-world wisdom but her ordinariness portrays a persona that could be everyone’s grandmother too. She possesses a rare outlook, one of appreciation for what you have and acceptance of the cards you’re dealt in life. She doesn’t claim to be a modern day oracle but someone to confide in, find solace and maybe the answers to your own problems.

She shatters the perception of scepticism which shrouds tarot card readers.
