In 1996 a palm tree appeared almost overnight in a suburb of Cape Town. This was the world’s first ever disguised cell phone tower. Since then, these trees have spread across the city, South Africa and the rest of the world. Invasive Species is a series of twelve photographs that explore the relationship between the environment and the disguised towers of Cape Town and its surrounds.
