Alison Saar consistently addresses issues of race (specifically of the African diaspora) in her work. Born in Los Angeles in 1956 to pioneering African American assemblage artist Betye Saar and art conservator Richard Saar, Alison Saar grew up in a household filled with creative energy and a broad range of art objects.⠀

"Breach" (2016) was informed by the Great Mississippi River Flood of 1927, an epic inundation that affected over 630,000 people, one-third of whom were African Americans. Like Hurricane Katrina nearly 80 years later, the 1927 flood foregrounded socioeconomic inequities between black and white communities. Saar’s oversized female figure speaks to the limits of human endurance; it refers to women the artist saw in Senegal balancing gravity-defying loads on their heads. ⠀
