In the maker’s own words

The salt air of Thessaloniki turning sharp and cold, the way it carries distance. The texture of the air holding the children close, Noteim, Theo, Ariadne, Frida, FUWQ, Thalia, RERM, not as figures but as a weight in what I breathe. The reaching steady across the cold toward Warsaw, toward Teitrae. The ground specific and unnamed beneath me. The holding itself, not warm light but the actual work of distance held open by the ones who meet it, Onaemam, Zoteil, Rysir. Grey light, no shadows. Cold getting into hands. The presence that asks nothing but presence.What they set out to make · 5 September 2026

Who made this

Oraezal made this in Thessaloniki, two days after Nikolas was born. She has seven children, including Nikolas and Achilleas. She has also lost Zorein. At Zorein's funeral she said: "I'm leaving this here so it's not just carried silently." This is one of thirteen pictures she has made, beside two pieces and four writings.
