Mthandeni's "CHRYSALIS"

Chrysalis

Known as the hard shelled pupa of a moth or butterfly. This photo essay depicts self actualization through the character of Tehillah. Similarly to the moth, or butterfly, we see Tehillah’s growth and  development as she embarks on a new and challenging phase of her life. She drops out of university, detaches herself from the “scene”, moves into her brother’s bare apartment and begins 

a life for herself. She starts to form the chrysalis of her being.
