Maya quietly practices her magical skills in the catacombs of her underground drow home while she awaits for her brother to return from his long adventure in the far away worlds above. She loves to listens to the stories he has to tell her of the strange creatures he meets and does battle with. Someday she will get to join him and she will be ready to show off her newfound skills.

This huipil comes from San Pedro Necta, a Mam Maya community in Huehuetenango, Guatemala. I have never seen another huipil that is made like this one. In other huipiles, the woven lienzo or panel that is used to make the garment is vertical with an opening cut into the fold at the top for the wearer's head. The lienzo used for this huipil is horizontal with an arm opening cut out on the left side (in this photo). The neck opening is on the side of the lienzo, and the bottom of the lienzo has been partly sewn suit leaving space for the other armhole. (right side in photo). The bottom of the huipil is actually the side of the lienzo which has been left open. This strange construction makes me wonder whether the huipil is a recent introduction to this semi-tropical region of Guatemala.

Edit
Wiley was born on January 2, 1964, in Syracuse, New York, and raised in Washington, D.C.[6] Her father was civil rights leader and academic George Wiley. Her mother, Wretha Frances (Whittle) Wiley, was white, and inspired her to focus on progressive issues.[7][8] On August 8, 1973, Wiley's 42-year-old father fell overboard while sailing with Wiley and her older brother on his 23‐foot boat on Chesapeake Bay, Maryland.[9][10] On August 12, 1973, his body was found floating in the bay off the shore of Chesapeake Beach, Maryland, after a three-day search.[11][12]
Wiley earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from Dartmouth College in 1986[13] and a Juris Doctor from Columbia Law School.[14]

Wiley served in the Civil Division of the U.S. Attorney Office for the Southern District of New York.[15]

Wiley spent two and a half years as counsel to de Blasio, during which time she became known for coining the term "agents of the city" in an attempt to prevent public disclosure of de Blasio's communications with lobbyists.[18] She also founded and served as president of the Center for Social Inclusion, a national policy strategy organization dedicated to dismantling structural racism.[19][17][20][21]
Wiley has taught at The New School and appeared on MSNBC as a political and legal analyst.[22]

Maya is a beautiful 25 y/o Israeli actress.
She was so lovely, friendly and kind to make pictures of !
We met at an art event in Tel Aviv. It was naturally her fur hat which drew at first my attention to her.
Maya was there to support her sister Sivan who was singing.
Family ties are always important.

I had the privilege of photographing a rare talent a little while back.
Maya Wang's original creations celebrate the expressive power of asymmetry and tactile dissonance, while accentuating the sensual and implicit narratives of contemporary persona. Hers is an aesthetic of impermanence and entropy best expressed in subdued hues and surprising improvisations of couture and industrial femininity. Keep your eyes on this rare talent.
