Through Un-American Gods, Williams examines the impact of European colonization on African development and its repercussions on Black people in America. This project envisions a world where Black communities independently thrive, free from exploitation and cultural suppression. Williams uses diverse materials and techniques—acrylics, resin and mixed media—to create a futuristic archaeological exhibit, portraying a timeline of unbounded Black advancement. By blending African and American Black cultures, the exhibit invites viewers to reflect on potential achievements and the future of self-determined Black societies.

“My work celebrates Black people in general, but much of the work is specific to Black women. I like to depict Black women in a very reverential way, one that celebrates and elevates them,” says Williams. “In my current work, you'll see goddesses, queens, CEOs and things of that nature. A lot of my work addresses different topics, disparities or discrimination but I never want to show Black people suffering.”

His new body of work breaks open his new creative dreams, visiting subject matter that has remained with him along the journey. Making a personal statement to reject any reference other than his own imagination, this collection ignites a big change of wind for his future artistic direction.
