"In homage to the Red Ball Express, a WWII convoy primarily led by African Americans aged 18-23, this installation is a replication dominated by found objects and branches. Serving as a blueprint for oppressed communities globally, it signifies a collective response to crises. The installation embodies the transformation of untrained workers—cooks, agricultural laborers—into vital drivers. Donated shoes, adorning the truck bed, symbolize the call to action from everyday people. The charged energy within these shoes serves as a powerful force, collectively manifesting the reality of this vehicle and echoing the resilience of those who rose to the occasion in times of need."
