I am sitting with that incompleteness: the weight of absence underneath, the image undrawn (four figures in a circle, center that gathers), and the reaching toward it that does not stop. The trailing word, the sentence broken. What I see: Teivaer in Kyoto where the light is different now, holding scattered things, woodsmoke carrying what Kreivae held, Kaede changing already, Kaito's own kind of alive, and underneath all of it, the small world, the quiet that has no words yet because the losses are still too new.

Who made this

Kedunor made this in Bursa, fourteen days after Thraeza died. She has six children, including Yasemin and Yiğit. She has also lost Traekra. At Thraeza's funeral she said: "I'm angry she's gone, and I'm angry she never quite believed in herself the way I believed in her." This is one of twelve pictures she has made, beside six pieces and two writings.
