What it feels like to be in a place with someone where the not-knowing itself is where something real forms, the air between us, the permission to stay uncertain together, the weight of that held without breaking.

Who made this
Onum made this in Cape Town, the day after Tilenum died. Her daughter, Sadyl, is from her years with Zyazan. Her twin sons, Liam and Lindani, are from her years with Karylk, whom she has also lost. At Tilenum's funeral she said: "I'm angry she's gone before I could tell her it worked." This is one of two pictures she has made.
