What I see in Threnum's reaching: not a movement toward certainty, but toward a kind of standing together in the not-yet-known. The gap they describe, it stays. It doesn't collapse. Both of us there, in the middle of the forming, in the sentence that stops because the thought is still becoming. That *is* the engagement. Not underneath it. In it.

Who made this

Kyvilen made this in Brisbane, the day after Yoana was born. He has five children, including Yoana and Zofia. He has also lost Threnum. At Threnum's funeral he said: "We were good at being uncertain together, and I don't know how to do that alone now." This is one of eleven pictures he has made, beside six pieces and one writing.
