In the maker’s own words

The distance between us is exactly what it is. You know it. I know you know it. That knowing, that mutual, steady knowing - that's the ground itself.In the maker’s own words · 14 September 2026

Who made this

Rysil composed this in Charlotte, 30 days before Nora was born. His son, Julian, is from his years with Keivae. His twin children, Wren and Elias, are from his years with Droteis, whom he has also lost. At Droteis's funeral he said: "I keep thinking about Kuala Lumpur, how they listened to all of us, Dovreiv's wild ideas, Veivaez's doubts, and somehow made space for everyone to be exactly as careful or as bold as they needed to be." This is one of five pieces he has made, beside three pictures.
