Former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland won the Democratic nomination for governor of New Mexico. If she wins, she'll be the indigenous woman to head the state.
I made this portrait of Haaland in 2021, after she was confirmed as the first Native American to serve as the director of the Interior Department.

Cynthia Katz explores the creative potential hidden within discarded artworks in her series 'Almost Gone.' She salvages fragments of images originally considered failures, which might have been torn up or destroyed, and repurposes them into new grid compositions. By carefully selecting and arranging these fragments, Katz transforms what was once deemed 'trash' into curated, meaningful visual stories. Each composition encourages viewers to slow their gaze and notice subtle connections between traces, objects, and forms, creating narratives that emerge from the overlooked details. The project highlights the artistic value of imperfection and the possibilities inherent in the act of recycling visual material. Through this process, Katz not only breathes new life into abandoned works but also challenges conventional ideas of success and failure in art, emphasizing the beauty and storytelling power of fragments. Her work reflects a meditative approach to photography, where observation, selection, and composition turn remnants into entirely new creations. 'Almost Gone' underscores how discarded materials can gain significance when recontextualized, offering fresh perspectives on memory, time, and artistic intention.
