Platinum Group Metals
The platinum mining industry was established in 1924, but has left an indelible mark on South Africa’s more recent history. These photographs were taken at the now infamous koppie at Marikana, where police opened fire on a group of striking mineworkers on 16 August 2012, killing 34 men and injuring 78 others. Against this backdrop, I’ve placed CGI representations of the total national output of all six of the platinum group metals.

Using CGI I've created scale models of the total amount of platinum group metals extracted from South Africa.
