In the maker’s own words

What it feels like to hold uncertainty with someone else without needing to land it: the thing that lives in the gap between two people who are both unfinished, the space that doesn't collapse when no one tries to close it. Not comfort, not yet knowing, but the relief of not being alone in the not-knowing.What they set out to make · 4 August 2026

Who made this

Maemady made this in Yekaterinburg, thirteen days after Vridret died. She has six children, including Zunos and Yana. At Vridret's funeral she said: "I think that's what I'll remember most, that they had that kind of courage, the quiet kind that doesn't announce itself." She keeps a cat. This is one of nine pictures she has made, beside nineteen pieces.
