INHERITANCE

by Mike Rossi

2018

What do we inherit, and what do we pass on?

Photographed within the informal settlements of South Africa, this body of work centres on the people who inhabit these spaces. Personality and circumstance emerge

through gesture and domestic detail.

Inheritance is framed not as spectacle, but as witness, an engagement with lives observed with dignity and restraint.
