About:

Each title included in Traces, an exclusive special set by Brad Ford Smith gives a different perspective on absence, and explores different angles of experiencing the ephemeral. Where To Find A Ghost shows how acts of trauma can reverberate even as the location evolves; House Of Giller is a beautifully moving meditation on experiencing a loved one’s living spaces before and after their passing, and Nine Days With LiHua tells us that the unseen can bring joy in the energy it creates.
