Maya

Early one dawn, when the city still lay quiet, I met Maya at Linköping's travel centre. It was 4:00 a.m. and I hadn't expected to meet anyone like her. She is an expert in cryptocurrency.

We talked briefly, words wrapped in morning air, and when I later raised the camera she met my gaze through the lens. A moment of clarity — her eyes, full of wisdom and a glimpse of something deeper. And in that moment I knew it wasn't just the technology or the knowledge that made her special. Maya is an enigma and, at the same time, in her simplicity, utterly self-evident.
