Pine Bend: Refining Perceptions
The Pine Bend Refinery in Minnesota has earned multiple Occupational Safety awards since 2000 and is recognized as one of the largest refineries in the country, with a sustained track record of safety performance. Known for its innovative environmental partnerships, a dedicated solar panel field, and multiple EPA ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year awards, Pine Bend challenges conventional perceptions of refineries.
In collaboration with photographer Jack Sorokin, I partnered with Pine Bend to document its unique environment through a photo series that captures the refinery’s community and heart.
