Who made this

Rarylk made this in Tabriz, three days before Leitrae died. He has also lost Syukorn. At Leitrae's funeral he said: "I think about them holding Tridern's question like light, uncertain but still holding it, and I realize that's what they did for all of us." This is one of six pictures he has made, beside eight pieces and two writings.
