The present cannot be fully appreciated without some understanding of the past. This continuity applies to every aspect of people’s lives, including the environments in which we live.  As a photographic artist, Maxine Beuret explores different cultural environments in the context of time passing. This is expressed through a focus on design and aesthetics.
