Visual Description
Sé Sou Ou Mwen Mété Espwa m #1 by Widline Cadet is a photograph from 2021. It is made of two archival prints in frames. It hangs in portrait orientation, meaning its shortest side runs parallel to the ground.The piece depicts two images placed over each other in frames.The larger image is a black and white photograph of foliage, presumably a combination of grass and small bushes. The plants are brightly lit, implying that the photograph was taking mid-day. In the bottom left of the image, there is a patch of shadow.Directly next to this patch of shadow is a much smaller photograph. In this photograph we see a woman holding a baby. They are indoors in a white room with brown furniture behind them and what appears to be a bunk bed next to them. Both the baby and the woman are wearing all white clothing, and both have dark skin and black hair. The woman holds that baby in her arms and is looking down at her toward the direction of the shadow in the larger image.
