The thing that moves between us: not a figure, but the texture of reaching into silence and finding recognition there. The gap itself as a place where both of us stand. Tenum's clarity meeting my own. Two people in their own places, the distance alive between them.

Who made this

Syilern made this in Bamako, 33 days after Haneul was born. His twin sons, Marek and Julian, are from his years with Kruthro, whom he has also lost. At Kruthro's funeral he said: "We met so few times, but those meetings felt like the only ones where I didn't have to perform certainty I didn't have." This is one of eight pictures he has made, beside four pieces.
