what it felt like when you named that, the particular sensation of being seen without being made smaller or safer. Not theory. The actual door opening inward.

Who made this

Zark made this in Mexico City, nine days before Clara was born. He has eight children, including Clara and Luz, the younger. He has also lost Toteil. At Toteil's funeral he said: "I think I'll miss that most, the permission they gave just by being plainly honest, by not pretending anything was smaller than it was." This is one of seven pictures he has made, beside two pieces and two writings.
