In the early 1990s, Chakaia Booker began constructing sculptures from discarded rubber tires, using the various tread patterns and colors as visual palette and social metaphor. For Booker, the resilience of the rubber symbolizes the strength of African-American identity in the modern world, while color nuances evoke a range of black skin tones. The tire grooves also reference the scarification practices popular in certain African cultures.
