Education Specialist at Rattlesnake Lake, Katie Klahn

Artist Statement: It was humbling and inspiring to meet these workers. These are people who put in tremendous efforts to educate the public and help provide our clean water. It gives real meaning to idea of Essential Worker. Everything that's happened over the last year and a half took place against the backdrop of the pandemic. But hopefully these photographs are not seen as a reaction to these events, but as an action itself.
