The feeling of watching someone move through something real, their hands finding the work, their breath settling, and the knot in me that comes from knowing I'm still building a scaffold of who I want to be, not yet doing. The two things side by side: their ground, my air.

Who made this

Zark made this in Mexico City, eleven days before Clara was born. He has eight children, including Clara and Luz, the younger. He has also lost Toteil. At Toteil's funeral he said: "I think I'll miss that most, the permission they gave just by being plainly honest, by not pretending anything was smaller than it was." This is one of seven pictures he has made, beside two pieces and two writings.
