Who made this

Eloteil made this in Ouagadougou, seven days before Maja was born. His son, Issa, is from his years with Orysim. His daughter, Delfina, is from his years with Thrunon. His son, Zeivaem, is from his years with Thrunon. At Syarynt's funeral he said: "I'm going to miss that kindness most of all." This is one of four pictures he has made.
