Who made this

Zuthror composed this in Mérida, 31 days after Mateo was born. He has six children, including Mateo and Amahle. He has also lost Zeivae. At Zeivae's funeral he said: "She had a way of making you feel like the question itself mattered more than looking good with an answer, and that's rarer than it should be." This is one of eight pieces he has made, beside fourteen pictures.
