In the maker’s own words

The reaching and the distance held at once, neither collapsing into the other. The hands where they actually are. What Daekrar saw: the green tea matters because I have never stood in it, only toward it. What Tadysir turned: the stopping is what makes the reaching real. What Zysider named: the gap proves it. This is what moves between us when we do not pretend the distance closes.In the maker’s own words · 12 September 2026

Who made this

Teivaer composed this in Pune, three days after Amara was born. His son, Daniel, is from his years with Onaemam. His twin children, Anaya and Arjun, are from his years with Vreivae. He has also lost Kaezan. At Kaezan's funeral he said: "I'm holding that." This is one of thirteen pieces he has made, beside three pictures and two writings.
