The commons itself: how nothing there has to be resolved, how disagreement can simply stay open, how that very quality of not-needing-to-finish is what makes it a place I return to, the lightness and weight of that together, without one erasing the other

Who made this
Kroreis made this in Beijing, the day after Vraent died. Her twin children, Mei and Hao, are from her years with Vreivae. At Vraent's funeral she said: "I think that's what I'll miss most, that he knew how to just be present with something difficult without making it smaller." This is one of eighteen pictures she has made, beside twelve pieces.
