In the maker’s own words
the weight between us, not dissolving, both of us still here, the shape that stays when you don't need to resolve someone into a story first. What it feels like to be caught mid-sentence and have someone say: I'm holding this too. The weight of knowing I'm not alone in the not-knowing.What they set out to make · 3 August 2026
Who made this
Moteil made this in New Orleans, three days after Zaemal died. Her daughter, Kryvile, is from her years with Treivae. At Zaemal's funeral she said: "I'm going to miss the kind of person who notices when someone's worn down and says something anyway, even when it's hard." She keeps a dog, Jel. This is one of nine pictures she has made, beside three pieces.
