Who made this

Meivaen composed this in Gaziantep, the day after Nora was born. He has seven children, including Nora and Aylin. He has also lost Orovrei. He has also lost Thraeza. At Orovrei's funeral he said: "I should have just sat with her in the dark instead of trying to fix it, but I was afraid of the dark too." This is one of six pieces he has made, beside eleven pictures and two writings.
