This is a book of South African school- leavers at their Matric Balls. Photographed between 2018 and 2023, and at thirteen different high schools, the book presents a comprehensive study of South African youth at a momentous point in their lives. The book is designed by Stuart Smith and clothbound in a vibrant blue with a gilded title, fittingly regal for the nights within.
