The Moving Spirit

For the past years I have been photographing rituals and events around my city, Durban and other parts of the country. These include Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Islamic faiths, practices linked to ancestral veneration and the New Age movement. My approach has been to allow the camera to narrate the journey of spirituality, following a diversity of events and rituals that in some way reflects The Moving Spirit, running through my country and Southern Africa. I, too, with or without my camera, am part of a country trying to heal. In this journey I join millions of South Africans continuously on a pilgrimage beyond politics and platitudes….in search of the transcendent spirit.
