The way I saw their dimness and something in me answered, not because I read it right, but because that's what you do when you see someone drowning in their own small world. The risk of that answering: I might be wrong about what they need. The choice anyway: to show up not knowing, to hold what I don't know about them, to let them tell me if I've landed wrong.

Who made this

Zovreiv made this in Salt Lake City, ten days after Amivi was born. He has five children, including Amivi and Trukon. He has also lost Zyin. At Zyin's funeral he said: "That mattered to me more than I think I told them." This is one of two pictures he has made.
