National Photographic Portrait Prize 2023 Finalist
'Being of Italian and Indian heritage and growing up in Australia, I've always questioned my cultural identity. After all, I'm neither Indian, nor Italian nor your typical Aussie – or am I?'
This is a portrait study about cultural identity in Australia. What does it mean to be an Australian? It's an evolving perception constantly being moulded by the values of each wave of newcomers. Téa's cultural identity is personified in the image by chosen objects and flora.
The exhibition is selected from a national field of entries, reflecting the distinctive vision of Australia's aspiring and professional portrait photographers and the unique nature of their subjects.
