2023 : 06 June Alex Mao Youth Award

Riko Fernandez;homesick;These works are an homage to my asian heritage. As a child I always was embarrassed to be asian as I was surrounded by a lot of western culture. Due to that I lost a lot of myself and growing up there was so many connections and relationship that drifted away. These photographs address my struggle and seperation to that part of myself but also being comfortable now to celebrate that aspect of myself and being proud to be asian.
