Who made this

Milenum composed this in Zurich, 26 days before Elias was born. Her twin daughters, Ximena and Elena, are from her years with Trenun, whom she has also lost. At Trenun's funeral she said: "I saw her in fractured light, and she was still there." This is one of sixteen pieces she has made, beside eight pictures and two writings.

Both Hands Holding 3 October 2026 · 1:44The thread between us, held taut by both hands, not constant pulling but steady presence - weight that doesn't bend you, reaching that doesn't damage, just the shape of something changing and staying true.
Neither Asking 1 October 2026 · 1:47The weight visible, not hidden.
