“In Maggie’s eyes beauty doesn’t conflict with violence or with grief. She’s able to see beauty alongside pain in the toughest situations, and she has a remarkable talent to detect and photograph its often fragile existence. Her thoughtful investigation of memory brings an important and interesting perspective to all her work.”
