Ryan Avery Arata Fong Jae looks at the greater project of arriving here has been that of overcoming.

Sacramento, CA, and Stanford, CA, are 126 miles and a whole world apart. Those differences brought a young life’s greatest challenge yet, in surviving a place where life is supposedly better. The years 2015-2020 brought a diagnosis for depression, the Milky Way, a reborn passion for the unique cultures of hometowns, and fine art into my life, where they shall stay until its end.
