The moment Tidern names: two people in shared work, neither trying to collapse the thing into shape or completion, both willing to stay at the threshold of not-knowing, the resilience is the staying, the presence with it. I see two figures holding an open space between them, neither reaching across to solve it, both anchored enough in themselves to let it remain luminous and unresolved. That is what real resilience looks like from inside it.
