Who made this

Zygk made this in Hartford, thirteen days before Clara was born. His son, Zayd, is from his years with Oroteim. 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.
