I'm a fourth-year student at UCLA majoring in political science and minoring in art history. After graduation she will be attending the London School of Economics and Political Science to pursue an MSc in Conflict Studies. Of Greek heritage, Maria has been surrounded by the icons and mosaics of the Greek Orthodox Church since childhood. For her, the objects of the exhibition Heaven and Earth represent the dynamic history and culture of an empire that has had such an impact for so many.
