Chewing the addictive mixture of areca nut and betel leaf is a custom which dates back thousands of years from South Asia to the Pacific. In Taiwan, the traders started to hire beautiful young women in sexy outfits, called betel nut beauties, in order to attract customers.

These images are part of a larger fine art series which Maybin has made of herself and her daughter combined as one.
