“Ghosts” is a series of photographs by South African artists Ralph Ziman. The images feature Zimbabwean street vendors wielding handmade replicas of AK-47s. The replicas were created using Shona style beading.
The series is meant to be a commentary on gun culture in some African countries. Ziman invited 6 Zimbabwean artists to create the AK-47’s using beads and wire.
