Rainbow

“I am South African; I retain the good, the bad, the weird and the wonderful within my blood and I see the hope, superstition, desire, regret, persistence and anger of this nation. My first ten years of existence moving up and down the beautiful coastline of this country was under white rule. I recognize the problematic nature of racial realities that afflict all South Africans and have been a part of the change, before and after. Attuned to new experiences, alien to the values of the dominant society, I use my tools and skills to evoke the absurdity of life in this magnificently puzzled country.”

Rainbow is a forever incomplete point-and-shoot photographic documentation of post-apartheid South Africa.
