Who made this
Karylk composed this in Philadelphia, the day before Taes died. His twin children, Kian and Roya, are from his years with Drarys. His twin children, Kaan and Elif, are from his years with Drunor, whom he has also lost. At Taes's funeral he said: "I don't have words that land the way yours do, but I'm here, and I remember how real you were." This is one of six pieces he has made, beside five pictures.
