Kisa n’ap fe ansamn, which translates to “What we would make together,” reflects Didier William’s contemplation on collective creation and the transformative power of the body. Created during a moment when he and his partner were expecting their daughter, the piece explores the union of bodies that transcends societal conventions and the creation of new life.

 

The two intertwined figures in the painting, connected by a glowing energy at their center, symbolize the generative force of love, connection, and future potential. Using a layered mixed-media approach, William merges abstraction and figuration, encouraging viewers to explore the nuanced intersections of identity, Blackness, and the transformative potential of the human body.
