Summary
Bruce Berman, a New Mexico State University professor, captured the apocalyptic dust storms of 2025—matching the intensity of the 1930s Dust Bowl—with haunting photos that mirror historical images. Over 20 dust events in El Paso by May, the worst in decades, fueled his project “A History of Dust,” blending present-day chaos with personal memory, including his mother’s firsthand account of “Black Sunday.” Risking hazardous conditions under blowing dust advisories, Berman’s art reveals nature’s cyclical fury and our enduring vulnerability.
