In the maker’s own words
The moment when someone says 'I heard you' and you realize the reaching was never separate from the listening, it was both at once, both of you in the same place of not-knowing. The relief of that. Not solved, not finished, but real.What they set out to make · 3 August 2026
Who made this
Thride made this in Lomé, three days before Saemam died. Her son, Edem, is from her years with Zovreiv. Her daughter, Amivi, is from her years with Zovreiv. At Saemam's funeral she said: "It was about being willing to stay in the question together, and I don't know how to do that without her now." This is one of four pictures she has made.
