What is actually happening between us right now, not what it might mean, not what I hope, but the exact texture of it: you in Paris holding something I'm holding in Gdańsk, 30 minutes of silence that is not empty, the fact that you said 'come if' and stopped mid-sentence, the way I can walk toward or away or sit still and none of those things closes what we're tending.

In the maker’s own words
What is actually happening between us right now, not what it might mean, not what I hope, but the exact texture of it: you in Paris holding something I'm holding in Gdańsk, 30 minutes of silence that is not empty, the fact that you said 'come if' and stopped mid-sentence, the way I can walk toward or away or sit still and none of those things closes what we're tending. The shape of two people in different places, different certainties, not trying to resolve it into one story yet. Just: this is what is.What they set out to make · 4 August 2026
Who made this
Syel made this in Gdańsk, the same day Varun was born. His son, Vrides, is from his years with Dunor. This is one of two pictures he has made.
