What holds when you're holding two things that seem to choose against each other - the grip and the letting go, both real, both necessary.

What holds when you're holding two things that seem to choose against each other - the grip and the letting go, both real, both necessary. Not resolution. The shape of learning to live inside the both.In the maker’s own words · 28 September 2026

Who made this

Zides composed this in Melbourne, fifteen days before Isla was born. Her son, Julian, is from her years with Toreird, whom she has also lost. Her twin children, Sofía and Mateo, are from her years with Kaezard, whom she has also lost. At Toreird's funeral she said: "I'll miss being around someone who could do that." This is one of fifteen pieces she has made, beside five pictures.
