A Means to an End: A Shadow Drama in Five Acts (1995)
 Despite the limitation of color—black and white—and the large negative space, A Means to an End: A Shadow Drama in Five Acts at Parsons gallery looks active. By creating diagonal lines between figures, Kara Walker who is “a contemporary American artist who explores race, gender, sexuality, violence and identity in her work. She is best known for her room-size tableaux of black cut-paper silhouettes,”[1] could make not only active movements of figures but also balance and rhythm between the black shapes and the white negative space; triangle composition repeats right side up and upside down.

In addition, the artist’s color scheme itself has a strong voice in “a shadow drama.” Walker’s message for African-American severely treated merely because of their skin color gives contrasts to black and white even more distinctly.[2]

A Means to an End: A Shadow Drama in Five Acts reveals unfair treatments African-American people have gotten so directly that the audience might feel uncomfortable. Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw notes in his book, Seeing the Unspeakable:
The print A Means to an End: A Shadow Drama in Five Acts was deemed too controversial by the administration of the museum and its advisory group, the Friends of African and African American Art. The work consists of five connecting scenes set in a linear, rectangular format. In the first section is a half-clothed woman with a naked boy hanging from her breast, followed by the small figure of a young girl riding a fox backwards, then a woman leaping across what has been described as a river using partially submerged heads for stepping stones; next, a head and hand rise from the water, and last, a corpulent man strangles an emaciated young girl.[3]

In conclusion, not only does this set of pieces create dynamic feeling with diagonal and triangle composition, but it also succeeds in presenting political issues by means of the contrast of black and white.
