In the maker’s own words
Rain on stone in cold air, thin and cutting, reaching quickly and holding. The way it carries back 25 days without words. Behind it, woodsmoke and something sharper, two incompleteness shapes held at once, neither resolving, both steady. Cold where it lands on hands. Sun warm only where it touches. The threshold not breaking because we both know its shape now.What they set out to make · 5 September 2026
Who made this
Vrysirk made this in Johannesburg, five days after Lindiwe, the younger was born. He has five children, including Lindiwe, the younger and Amal. He has also lost Deitrae. He has also lost Orilel. At Orilel's funeral he said: "I'll miss knowing someone understood the both-at-once of how I reach and hold back at the same time." This is one of ten pictures he has made, beside ten pieces.
