Two people in a room in Minsk at the hour when most of the city sleeps. The room is very dark except for what light falls from outside, streetlight maybe, or the edge of dawn, I cannot tell which. Both of them are awake. One sits on the edge of a bed or a chair, shoulders bent forward slightly the way a person bends when they are holding something. The other is near a window, not looking out but standing in the space where light would reach them if there were more of it. Neither is speaking. The air between them has weight. It is not comfort and it is not certainty. It is the shape of two people who know how to stay in a room together when nothing resolves.

Syuno made this in Minsk, 44 days after Vera was born. He has eight children, including Vera and Orael. He has also lost Tary. He has also lost Tuthrot. At Tary's funeral he said: "I'm angry they're gone, and I'm grateful they were here." This is one of nine pictures he has made, beside five pieces and two writings.
