The density-driven transition of an exciton gas into a Fermi liquid of unbound electron-hole pairs has formed a compelling testing ground of many-body physics. Layered transition metal dichalcogenides feature advantageous conditions, yet nanoscale inhomogeneities have complicated quantitative studies of this elusive transition. Here, we use ultrafast polarization nanoscopy to trace optically bright and dark electronhole pairs during an exciton Mott transition in a twisted homobilayer of WSe2. At elevated densities, initially monomolecular recombination dynamics of optically dark excitons continuously evolve into the bimolecular recombination of unbound electron-hole pairs. We directly reveal how the Mott transition varies over nanometer length scales, evidencing strong spatial disorder in stacked monolayers and demonstrating the capabilities of our technique to resolve the local interplay of strong electronic correlations.
