A note from the maker
Kiko, Kwaderno & Co. · Toronto
Hi, I'm Kiko. I'm from the Philippines, I worked in Saudi Arabia for 9 years, and now I live in Canada for good as a citizen. Somewhere along the way, home stopped being one place.
If you've ever struggled to explain where home is, you know it's never a short answer. I made Home, Twice for the stories we carry but never get around to telling: the day you left, the first night in a new country, the food you miss, the people who became family. Write them down. Say them out loud. Leave them for the people who'll want to hear them in your voice.
Kiko
