Free and open to the public, the exhibit challenges viewers to rethink what they see—and how they interpret it. The artist invites guests to step into a metaphorical cave and confront the limits of human perception, exploring how intuition, bias, and interpretation shape our understanding of the world around us. Through sculpture and environmental installation, the show encourages visitors to question visual assumptions and consider the deeper layers of reality.

“The Cave” explores themes of shadow, distortion, and the fragile nature of truth, offering Fort Collins residents, students, and local art supporters an opportunity to engage with emerging creative talent at CSU.
