Get to Know Us
By Maitri Lalai
“Together, these pieces refract the self through the many prisms of
love and language, culture and nature and invite us to do the same. They demonstrate
a keen sensitivity to one’s surroundings and exude an inward-looking, introspective
quality that captures the spirit of not only what it means to be young, but to be
human.”
