My 02/01/26 postcard is shards of broken glass embedded in the soil at Albuquerque’s Glass Graveyard, the remains of a former city landfill active from 1920 to 1948. Repeated fires burned away organic waste, leaving behind a dense field of glass fragments, sharp, dulled, and weathered, now exposed at the surface. What was once refuse has become an artifact, a textured record of time and abandonment.
