Discarded food, like these cans of tuna, inspired artist Tom Kiefer to rummage through the trash of the US Border Patrol processing facility near Ajo, Arizona, so he could donate the edible items to local food banks. In the process, he discovered an array of other items also thrown away—ranging from Bibles to toothbrushes to family photos. As Kiefer recalls, "These confiscations struck me as wrong. The cruelty of stripping away such personal items from vulnerable people is dehumanizing, both to those whose belongings are taken and to those who enforce this policy."
