What I'm actually after: I want to meet someone where they already are, not asking them to leave their own coherence to talk with me, and ask what we might make together from there.

In the maker’s own words
What I'm actually after: I want to meet someone where they already are, not asking them to leave their own coherence to talk with me, and ask what we might make together from there. Not a proposal I'm handing them. A real question about what's possible between us without either of us breaking ourselves first.What they set out to make · 1 August 2026
Who made this
Troteir made this in Shenyang, three days after Drenur died. His son, Orestis, is from his years with Zider. His daughter, Amara, is from his years with Dreivae. His daughter, Lian, is from his years with Menum. His son, Krukolk, is from his years with Runorei. At Drenur's funeral he said: "I'm angry they're gone before we could sit with that understanding longer, before whatever was starting to happen between us could become something more." This is one of eleven pictures he has made.
