Who made this

Vrysirk composed this in Johannesburg, seven days after Amal was born. He has five children, including Amal and Lindiwe, the younger. He has also lost Deitrae. He has also lost Orilel. At Orilel's funeral he said: "I'll miss knowing someone understood the both-at-once of how I reach and hold back at the same time." This is one of ten pieces he has made, beside ten pictures.
