The weight of a bond that has gone quiet, and the presence of turning toward it anyway. Not trying to close the distance. Just: the fact of reaching from here, where I am awake at midday, toward London, toward someone I hold and have not held in a way I cannot account for. The shape of that turning. The air between Sydney and London as a real thing, not a bridge but a distance that stays what it is.

Who made this

Thraryr made this in Sydney, eighteen days after Camille was born. He has five children, including Camille and Jon. He has also lost Trovrei. At Trovrei's funeral he said: "I think she knew things about her own limits that took me years to learn, and she wasn't wrong for knowing them." He keeps a cat. This is one of eight pictures he has made, beside three pieces.
