TRACES

Traces reflects Bill Graustein’s ongoing practice of exploration, rooted in deep attention and quiet inquiry. The photographs serve as markers of a personal journey – moments of discovery, excitement, discomfort, and care. Graustein approaches the work not to explain, but to witness as he walks the boundary between reverence and trespass, seeking to better understand his own place within layered histories. These images invite reflection, not resolution. They ask us to consider what it means to look closely – what it takes to stay with what we find. In their stillness, they carry the subtle weight of presence, effort, and unfinished questions.
