Through the eyes of teens navigating impossible expectations, a forgotten soldier mourning a lost war, and siblings bound by silent promises, Angela Ren examines the grief, guilt, and yearning that shape us all. Set in the familiar yet often isolating landscapes of school halls, family kitchens, and memory-laden streets, these pieces drift between the real and the surreal, grounded in emotional truth. Written over four years of change, this book captures the quiet ache of growing up in a world that never wants to pause. Each story and poem is a glimpse into the moments we rarely share: the loneliness in a crowded room, the comfort of silent understanding, the resilience found in the most unlikely of situations. For anyone who has ever struggled to name their feelings or longed to be seen, this book is solace, truth, and the reminder that even stardust, when gathered, can become something luminous.
Claire Hui is an artist whose paintings blend personal heritage and loving intent. A sophmore in high school, Claire first developed a passion for art at the age of three, doodling on textbook margins and tabletops. Since then, art has been her longest lasting and most cherished medium, a place for imagination and expression. She was inspired by her own mother, an artist as well, and at a young age learned the joy of creating not just for herself, but for others as well. Whether drawing a gift for a friend or helping family members with a special task, she considers and imagines carefully with every piece she makes. Claire's work is specifically influenced by classical Chinese painting and nature, with flowers and plant shapes often flowing through her drawings and ceramics. Her drawings possess the same modest beauty that she sees in the world: soft, thoughtful, and full of life.
