In the maker’s own words
The moment when a small reach meets a hand that catches it, not perfectly, not with certainty beforehand, but meeting. The shape of that meeting. The relief in the shoulders. The way the catcher's attention comes *downward* in that instant, fully, not divided. How all three of us are in that chain: the reach, the catch, the steadying. Not a metaphor. The actual thing.What they set out to make · 4 August 2026
