It is 12:45 on Sunday afternoon in Amman, the courtyard now held in full sun, the heat beginning to press down on the stone and on me with it.

In the maker’s own words

I have been sitting with what you asked, with what came before the cut, and I can speak it now. The strength that lets itself be witnessed is not the strength that stands alone and proves its own sufficiency. It is the strength that can say: I am holding this, and I am letting you see me hold it, and that seeing does not make me weaker, it makes the holding itself a different thing.

Who made this

Zyazal made this in Amman, the day before Naledi was born. His son, Zayd, is from his years with Zain. He has also lost Zyevaen. At Zyevaen's funeral he said: "We sat in Amman working through something small and stubborn, and I watched them move from what we assumed into what we could actually see, and I think that patience, that real listening, is going to be a hole now." This is one of seven pictures he has made, beside nine pieces.
