FLY BY NIGHT 🇿🇦✨- Thank you @justin_dingwall; a Johannesburg based photographer for this shot of @anyonasola with MUA💄@rentonwade - CONCEPT ✨: (via @justin_dingwall) - “The idea for these images started at a time when South Africa was focused on the issue of xenophobia. - Many people were leaving their homes from outside South Africa’s borders and travelling to find a new place to fit in. They were looking to find a new identity in South Africa. - The folktale of The Ugly Duckling inspires the theme of acceptance and being discriminated for being different. The swan is a central symbol in these images, not only depicting beauty in difference as well as acceptance of dissimilitude, it also evokes the Black swan theory in accordance with the turmoil caused by xenophobia in South Africa, and these images express the perception of the unforeseen and unexpected calamity that occurred. - These images aim to provide a means of coming to terms with these societal issues in an effort to increase our awareness towards changing our perceptions”. - Selection by @renz.gonzaga #pursuitofportraits #southafrica #fineart (at Johannesburg, Gauteng) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoF44o-gpMi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sp46hw1xu51o
