Kara Walker

The artist is best known for exploring the raw intersection of race, gender, and sexuality through her iconic, silhouetted figures.
I found this American artist and her work fascinating. The part that probably attracted me to her work the most was how she relies on the geastures and movements of the human body in order to express the emotions and tell the story behind her work. I feel she has done this quite successfully and therefore it proves how important body language is.
The top image and just above, have been given more depth with the addition of projected shadows of a wooded area. I think it helps to set more of a mood.
