How do those facing poverty and danger manage to endure their circumstances? What keeps their spirits alive, and what dreams guide their journey? Amidst hardship, how do clothing and status symbols shape their identities and aspirations? These questions are explored in the photo series Best Suits, Hide, Most Important, and I Always Wanted to Be a Model. Taken in Cape Town between 2004 and 2011, these images offer a poignant look at human resilience, the desire for recognition, and the powerful narratives embedded in even the most modest possessions.
