The space between two people when both are still and neither is rushing - held without measure, held without knowing what comes next, and that's enough.

Who made this
Zady composed this in Algiers, three days after Yanis was born. Her daughter, Yasmine, is from her years with Vrenun. Her son, Younes, is from her years with Neivae, whom she has also lost. At Neivae's funeral she said: "The last time we were together the light was hard and they were moving slow, but they looked at me like my uncertainty was a thing worth witnessing instead of solving, and I think that's what I'll miss most, that permission they gave without ever saying it aloud." This is one of sixteen pieces she has made, beside ten pictures and three writings.
