I was going through some old work recently, and these shots from January 2020 popped up.

and I were up in northern Sri Lanka on assignment, interviewing female entrepreneurs supported by and the , when the first faint whispers of a new flu-like virus started drifting through the villages. We barely took any notice, and it’s fascinating to look back on now, considering the enormous toll it would eventually take on the world.

I often wonder how families in these rural communities coped compared to us—privileged, convenience-dependent societies. Despite the hardships and history that have plagued the north, I witnessed so much resilience, self-sufficiency, independence, and community. Arudselvi and her family seemed happy and content, thriving in their own way—modestly equipped, yet capable and sustainable.

In comparison, little could be said about my own situation. Spoiled by various comforts and vices, it has become very apparent in hindsight just how fragile the framework of my foundations really was.

Ram 1 (Ramone De Wet) - First Generation South African B-Boy, stands for a portrait against a classic Cape Town sunset on the Seapoint promenade.

“In the wake of the pandemic it’s become apparent how important public spaces are to us as individuals and to society as a whole. This is especially true for South Africans, given our segregated history. The Sea Point Promenade, once a whites-only public amenity, now thrives with all walks of life, celebrating the incredible change and progression our society has made.”
