What makes us who we are?

This is the question that Priya Kambli interrogates with her innovative series of diptychs and triptychs, Color Falls Down.

Juxtaposing personal family snapshots with oblique self-portraits and ambiguous still-lifes, this is elegant, richly textured work that engages with important modern issues. And they're also really beautiful.

We discovered Priya's work as a result of the Lens Culture International Exposure Awards. Although her work was not selected for one of the top four prizes, we liked it so much that we decided to feature her whole portfolio. We'll be featuring a number of other series from the Awards over the coming weeks.
