Unity (mylar/separation) 1995

Editor: Here we have Louis Delsarte’s "Unity (mylar/separation)," rendered in what looks like graphite. The figures seem almost ghostly, emerging from a chaotic background. What can you tell me about it? Curator: The fragmentation and layering speak to the complexities of identity and belonging, especially within the African diaspora. Delsarte seems to be asking us to consider how historical forces shape familial bonds and individual narratives. What stories do you think Delsarte is trying to tell? Editor: It feels like a story of resilience despite fragmentation, a reaching towards wholeness. Curator: Exactly. The "unity" in the title takes on a poignant meaning when viewed through the lens of historical displacement and the ongoing struggle for recognition. Food for thought.
