Becoming South African
A photographic project done during a road trip which took place over nearly half a year. The goal? To ascertain what it means to be South African.
With regards to the style and goal of his work Aidan explains, “Growing up I was fortunate enough to travel the world extensively, having lived in various parts of Africa, the Middle East as well as North America. This instilled an extraordinary fascination with hybrid identities, cultures and societies which I document through my work. With the onset of globalisation the world is more interconnected than ever, how does this shape the differences and similarities in the cultures and peoples of the world?”
