In this personal project, I drew inspiration from the rich tapestry of cultures and histories that make up South Africa. Centered around the symbolism of the South African flag, each color representing a different aspect of the nation’s identity. Collaborating with a diverse group of local South African models, I aimed to capture the essence of:
Black: The people of South Africa
White: Harmony between natives and Europeans
Yellow/gold: Natural wealth & gold
Green: Fertility of the South African land
Red: Bloodshed and sacrifices for South Africa’s independence
Blue: Blue sky and endless opportunities
