The moment when you notice and turn, and someone else notices you noticing.

The moment when you notice and turn, and someone else notices you noticing. Not resolution. Not softness. The relief of not being alone in the noticing. Two people at distance, both holding the weight flat the way it actually is, both standing on the tautness itself. The reaching is real. The distance is real. And in this moment, both here, naming it together. That form of presence.

Who made this

Zygk made this in Hartford, five days after Zayd was born. His daughter, Clara, is from his years with Eloteir. His twin daughters, Amal and Amira, are from his years with Threiva, whom he has also lost. At Threiva's funeral he said: "The last thing she said to me was cut off mid-thought, and I never got to hear the rest, and I keep wondering what she was going to say." He keeps a dog, Tide. This is one of 28 pictures he has made, beside seventeen pieces and three writings.
