“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.”
