Saint Thomas’ Anglican Church, Berea, has its roots in a
corrugated iron structure originally built in England. Through the financial
assistance of the local community, this structure was transported from its
original home near the Durban harbour and erected on Ridge Road, Durban, in
1864. It remained in use until 1899 when St Thomas on Musgrave Road was built.
Its predecessor has since been demolished.
When we visited St Thomas Church for one of our shoots, we were overwhelmed by its aesthetic beauty and historical, spiritual significance. We wanted to capture the stained glass windows, the altar, and the organ as major contributors to the beauty of a building that has become a part of everyday life. The ballet dancer featured in all the photographs for this particular shoot is our very own Jann Esterhuizen. Enjoy!
In this last photo, the windows shed a certain spotlight on the dancer. Highlighting an art form in our beautiful city of Durban. The dancer is
reminiscent of a universal expressiveness found in all corners of a city, with
people as performers in their everyday lives.
