Our world is full of stimuli. Our experiences of these sensations and how we perceive them is unique to each individual. The environments and situations we find ourselves in are collected, translated, and stored as memories. These memories, of people, events, and emotions, are then recalled, potentially countless times, and modified.

Through painting, drawing, and sculpture, Traces examines both external and internal forces that influence the human experience and what we make of them. Peter Broz and Charles VanMeter focus on the external, specifically the life-death cycle and the duality of nature. Angel Castelán and Kevin Lopez investigate the internal, depicting experiences of isolation and states of mind.
