Hidden within the quiet expanse of Luffness Forest lie the forgotten ruins of a Carmelite friary. Traces follows contemporary Scottish painter Rose Strang as she steps into this buried past, using the physical remnants of the site and its connection to a fallen Crusader to inform a new body of work. Featuring insight from art impresario Richard Demarco, the documentary serves as a focused meditation on memory, landscape, and artistic expression. As Strang translates ancient stones and regional conflict into her canvases, the film reveals the enduring dialogue between what is lost and what remains.
