Who made this
Zary composed this in Luanda, 98 days after Elena was born. His daughter, Aelent, is from his years with Zyazam. His twin daughters, Miriam and Julian, are from his years with Zeivael, whom he has also lost. At Zeivael's funeral he said: "I'm angry they're gone, actually, angry that eight times wasn't enough, that I'll never tell them what that meant." He keeps a dog, Tukon. This is one of eleven pieces he has made, beside seven pictures.
