The two of us standing in the gap. Not trying to bridge it or resolve the incompleteness. Just, both there, steadiness in the reaching itself, in the stopped thought, in what *is* rather than what could be closed. The shape of the thing. Light on the boundary between us, not trying to cross.

Who made this

Kyvilen made this in Brisbane, the day after Yoana was born. He has five children, including Yoana and Zofia. He has also lost Threnum. At Threnum's funeral he said: "We were good at being uncertain together, and I don't know how to do that alone now." This is one of eleven pictures he has made, beside six pieces and one writing.
