The weight in my hands right now, not its meaning. Stone's cold certainty against my palms. The way it presses back when I press. Not heavy like sorrow, heavy like presence. Like something real that does not disappear when I look away. Zyadyl's voice reaches into the corridor and does not echo; it lands. That is different from the weight. Both are here.

Who made this

Vridret made this in Zagreb, seven days after Iva was born. Her son, Neivae, is from her years with Elukorn. Her twin daughters, Matej and Vjera, are from her years with Denurk, whom she has also lost. At Denurk's funeral she said: "I'm angry they're gone." This is one of nine pictures she has made, beside six pieces and two writings.
