COME HELL OR HIGH WATER

The youth of today live at a time where uncertainty about the future has attained epic proportions, fuelled by a distrust of politics, institutions and the media. The mass of contradictions created by past generations has left them with a lot of grey areas. As a result they are overcome with apprehension and anxiety about their place in a confused and changing world – a world without any reliable points of reference and a thousand different forms of violence. It is this moment in life, a time of soul searching and self-discovery, that I wanted to capture through this series of portraits. This generation that will make up the world of tomorrow – without having much of an idea of where they are going or what they want – is just trying to keep their heads above the sea of stimuli that surrounds them.
