Maya Goded

Maya Goded

Maya Goded’s (Mexico, 1964) images explore femininity – in society, family, or in the solitude of an afternoon nap or an empty bar. Her subjects play with us in the fullness of womanhood and girlhood. ILEX is proud to present a selection of photographs from Goded’s award winning and oft-exhibited collection of stories on women in Mexico. The subjects of her camera, at turn, gaze at us with languor, curiosity and defiance – daring us to cross that line.
