## Caption

Kara Walker’s (kara_walker_official) “Fortuna and the Immortality Garden (Machine)” just might have you finding and reflecting on something new each time you see it.

Let’s take a deep dive into this installation on Floor 1 of our museum.

1️⃣ Walker brought in 35,000 lbs. of Obsidian stone to be used in the space, specifically for its healing properties.

2️⃣ The artist covered the heads in papier-mâché to make them resemble hand puppets.

3️⃣ The “Bell Holder” and “Water Bearer” costumes have an image of the 1906 
San Francisco Fires.
