EXPERIMENTAL photography.  

This series of photos was an experiment I was busy with in the studio. Trying to explore the fascination of moths with light and use that as a metaphor for “izinyoka”, which in Mdantsane case happened to be the youth who lives in squatter camps and I call them ‘light seekers’. Moths are attracted to light but as soon as they reach it they get burnt. In a similar metaphorical way, ‘light seekers’ are attracted to light which will open new possibilities of knowledge. With luminosity one can see, gain awareness, learn, live and work in a same way we would reach our spiritual enlightenment with the light inside our souls. Light Seekers is a project I’m still busy with trying to refine it and polish it for you... enjoy.
