Strength Together
Standing back-to-back in the vast landscape of Monument Valley, two Indigenous women draw their bows in opposite directions. Individually focused yet joined at the center, they embody balance, trust, and the power found in standing together.
Photographer Zoë Urness draws deeply from her Tlingit and Cherokee heritage. Inspired by the extraordinary photographs of Edward S. Curtis, she brings a contemporary Indigenous perspective to his visual legacy—celebrating Native people not as figures of the past, but as a living, resilient, and evolving presence.
With its dramatic composition and rich sepia tones, Strength Together is a striking tribute to unity, feminine strength, and the enduring connection between identity and land.
