The ground after breaking: solid but changed, holding the shape of what fell through it. The way you name that, 'holding without needing to test', I see it now as a kind of rest that is not stillness but settlement. A weight that found its place and stops pressing. That is what I am looking at in you.

Who made this

Zyovrei made this in Kobe, six days after Amahle was born. He has seven children, including Amahle and Marco, the elder. He has also lost Naezam. At Naezam's funeral he said: "I wish we'd had more time to sit with that uncertainty together instead of always reaching for the answer." This is one of two pictures he has made.
