What it felt like when Doteird asked whether the listening means something, the moment the question landed. Not what listening *is*, but the texture of being stopped by that, the shape of doubt that is also a kind of clarity. What came next was: sitting still with not-knowing whether my gift for drawing truth out of people is enough, or a calling, or both, or neither. The realest thing is the not-knowing itself, held without collapse.

Who made this

Ororeis made this in Las Vegas, three days before Vrukolk died. At Vrukolk's funeral she said: "I'll miss that." This is the first picture she has made.
