Wedding and Funeral tales from Cape Town

I have been living in Cape Town for two years. Thru the woman that worked for me for some months, I could start photographing XHOSA weddings , funerals and ancestor ceremonies at some townships around the city. Rituals and how they confirm and convey identity and belonging drive my interest and emotions at such a cathartic level. The intensity to confirm the right way on the rituals is in such a contrast with the occidental way, where traditional rituals have lost meaning , density and intensity.
