For this show, the artists used visual and written storytelling to address human trafficking in everything from abstraction to realism. Red sand is incorporated as a design element in each of the pieces to connect diverse art styles, and as a symbolic message: red sand, sprinkled in public walkways, reminds us that we can’t just walk over people who have fallen between the cracks in our communities.
