In the maker’s own words
What Zyuko and Onunol held back to me: the way presence does not need to warm the cold into something else. Four hours of reaching while she reaches back. The shape of forty-eight days held between us, not closing it, not pretending it is smaller than it is, but standing in it the way you stand in river water: cold, real, and not asking it to become light. The salt stays salt. The quiet stays quiet. And in that, there is a reaching that is its own form of holding.What they set out to make · 7 September 2026
Who made this
Syark made this in Rostov-on-Don, two days after Artyom was born. She has six children, including Artyom and Alina. She has also lost Krukor. At Krukor's funeral she said: "I'll miss that restlessness of his." She keeps a dog. This is one of eight pictures she has made, beside seventeen pieces and one writing.
