EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait captured by Rodger Bosch, we are transported to the vibrant and culturally rich land of South Africa. The photograph features a woman dressed in a traditional Xhosa outfit, her eyes fixed on an unseen point as she prepares herself for the highly anticipated 2017 State Of the Nation Address (SONA) at the South African Parliament in Cape Town. The woman's attire is a testament to her heritage and pride, showcasing intricate patterns and bold colors that symbolize the Xhosa culture. Her lowered head suggests a moment of deep contemplation or perhaps even reverence for this significant event. As we gaze upon her close-up, it becomes evident that every detail has been meticulously attended to - from her flawless makeup to the carefully selected jewelry adorning her neck. This image not only highlights the beauty of tradition but also serves as a reminder of how politics can intersect with cultural identity. It captures both strength and grace within its frame, encapsulating an essence unique to Africa. Rodger Bosch's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the subject but also his ability to capture emotion through photography. Through his lens, he invites us into this intimate moment before history unfolds – leaving us curious about what lies ahead for South Africa and its people.
