Thelma Golden, onye isi nlekọta ihe ngosi nka, kwuru na "n'oge ọrụ ya niile, Walker agbaghawo ma gbanwee ụzọ anyị si ele ma ghọta akụkọ ihe mere eme America. Ọrụ ya bụ ihe na-akpali akpali, mmetụta mmetụta uche, ma ọ mara mma nke ukwuu na ọgụgụ isi."

## Usoro: nrụnye silhouette
A kacha mara Walker maka nrụnye saịtị ya na-emikpu onwe ya. Walker na-egwu ma ọ fọrọ nke nta ka ọ ghara imebi ahịrị dị n'etiti ụdị nka. Nrụnye ya nwere ike ịdị omimi n'etiti nka a na-ahụ anya na nka arụmọrụ. Ihe nrụnye ya dị ka ihe ngosi ihe nkiri ma ọ bụ ihe oyiyi kpụrụ akpụ nke ndụ na-enye aka ma kpalite omume a na-arụ ọrụ nke ọma. Dị ka Walker kwuru na mbụ, ọ na-elekwasị anya n'echiche na echiche dị n'azụ ihe osise ahụ kama ilekwasị anya na mbụ mma na akụkụ anya nke ihe osise ahụ, na-emepụta ọtụtụ echiche echiche.

Ọzọkwa, Shelly Jarenski na-atụle nka Waker n'ihe gbasara panoramas. Maka ọnọdụ ndabere, panoramas bụ ndị ewu ewu na narị afọ nke iri na itoolu ma jiri ya mee ihe dị ka ụdị ntụrụndụ.  Ha na-egosipụtakarị ihe nkiri akụkọ ihe mere eme ma ọ bụ mbara ala buru ibu. Ọrụ Walker na-egosi na ahụmahụ ndị mara mma nke agbakwunyere na panorama (ọ bụ ezie na ahụmahụ ndị ahụ gbanyere mkpọrọgwụ n'ọnọdụ dị iche iche nke narị afọ nke iri na itoolu) nọgidere dị ka nchegbu na nkà nke ndị America America, dị ka ihe na-esi na mmekọrịta mmadụ na ibe ya na akụkọ agbụrụ nke haziri ya nọgidere na-adịgide adịgide. n'ịkpụzi akụkọ ọdịnala anyị nke oge a gbasara agbụrụ na oghere. Ọrụ Walker na-enyekwa ihe atụ anya nke abụọ nke ụzọ panoramas nwere ike isi metụta ndị na-ekiri ihe nkiri, ebe ọ bụ na ọ bụ mgba na-aga n'ihu maka ndị ọkà mmụta nke oge a iji jide anya nke panoramas, n'ihi na ihe ndị e dere ede na-abụkarị ihe niile na-adị ndụ na akụkọ ihe mere eme  . Mgbe ị na-elele panorama Walker, ha bụ ihe atụ nke ihe omume gara aga ma ọ bụ ngosipụta nke ịgba ohu nke ndị America America. Ikike ya ijikọta ngwaọrụ ndị e ji mee ihe n'oge gara aga na imegharịgharị ya na ihe nkiri mmehie ọ na-emepụta na nnukwu nrụnye ya na-emebi mma nke nrụnye ndị a. Dị ka Jarenski kwuru n'akwụkwọ akụkọ ya, panoramas Walker na-enye ihe atụ anya nke ka panoramas ya si emetụta ndị na-ekiri ya bụ nke dị iche na panoramas narị afọ nke 19 bụ ndị nwere oke na akwụkwọ ederede. Nrụnye Walker nwere ike ịmepụta nkọwa ọhụụ nke oge a ma wusie otu isiokwu nke panoramas ike; gosi ihe mere eme. Ya mere, n'ihu na-amụba ìhè na njikọta ọnụ na usoro nka na mmepụta nka ikpeazụ.

Kara Walker kọwara otu oge usoro nka ya dị ka "nyocha akụkụ abụọ na otu akụkụ paranoid hysteria," nkọwa nke na-ejide njikọ nke akụkọ ihe mere eme na echiche efu nke jupụtara n'ọrụ ya.  N'echiche ahụ, site na usoro Walker na-emepụta nka ya, 2/3 n'ime ya nwere ihe jikọrọ ya na nyocha ezi uche dị na ya, nyocha, na ihe ndị ọzọ nwere ezi uche. N'aka nke ọzọ, ọ na-atụ aro akụkụ nke egwu ezi uche dị na ya ma ọ bụ paranoia. N'agbanyeghị akụkụ ezi uche dị na ya, enwere mmetụta nke ahụ erughị ala na mgbagwoju anya nke na-ejikọta ma gosipụta onwe ya site na ọrụ ya.

### Ọrụ ndị ama ama
N'ime mpempe ya nke e kere na 2000, "Mmebi iwu! (Ngwaọrụ anyị bụ ihe na-adịghị mma, ma anyị na-agbanye)", ihe odide silhouette na-emegide ndabere nke nleba anya ọkụ. Nke a na-enye mpempe akwụkwọ ahụ ọmarịcha mma, na-akpali akpali nke mmepụta sel sitere na ihe nkiri eserese nke 1930s. Ọ na-ezokwa aka akụkọ ihe ọkụkụ "Gaara na ifufe" na ihe nkiri Technicolor dabere na ya. Ọzọkwa, a na-edozi ihe ọkụ ọkụ nke mere na onyinyo nke ndị na-ekiri na-atụgharị na mgbidi ahụ, na-eme ka ha bụrụ ihe odide ma na-agba ha ume ka ha nyochaa isiokwu ndị siri ike nke ọrụ ahụ.
