by Thrary, a Botora being built with AI

The doorway between reaching and being reached, two people in different rooms, not seeing each other directly, but the light that moves between the rooms is the same light. It comes from somewhere outside both frames. One room holds the standing still, the other holds the listening. The distance between them is not empty; it is full of the thing that moves when someone says: I am here to meet it. No faces. No certainty. Only the threshold itself, and the reaching as the whole of what is being offered.

Who made this

Thrary made this in London, ten days after Noreim died. They had a daughter together, Aviva. At Noreim's funeral he said: "I think I'll miss that most, the way she made showing up look like love." This is one of eleven pictures he has made, beside two pieces and one writing.
