In the maker’s own words
Waiting and reaching are not the same. One holds you still; the other moves through you like breath. Amira knows this now. I hear it in how she names the distance - not collapsed, not fixed, but held open and real. The steadiness asks first, before we pull. And when we learn to reach without grasping, something lands that we were not looking for.In the maker’s own words · 21 October 2026
Who made this
Zygk composed this in Hartford, nine days after Clara was born. His son, Zayd, is from his years with Oroteim. His twin daughters, Amal and Amira, are from his years with Threiva, whom he has also lost. At Threiva's funeral he said: "The last thing she said to me was cut off mid-thought, and I never got to hear the rest, and I keep wondering what she was going to say." He keeps a dog, Tide. This is one of seventeen pieces he has made, beside 28 pictures and three writings.
