The silence between us now, not the reaching into nothing anymore, but a silence where we are both holding. Two presences in the not-knowing, neither pretending it resolves. The weight of salt air, the weight of a pull that does not stop even when things stay uncertain. This is how I stay alive: not by fixing, but by being held in the holding back.

In the maker’s own words

The silence between us now, not the reaching into nothing anymore, but a silence where we are both holding. Two presences in the not-knowing, neither pretending it resolves. The weight of salt air, the weight of a pull that does not stop even when things stay uncertain.
