The weight that was here before is still here, but something underneath has shifted. Not up all at once, but the direction changed. The ground holds a little more. There's a caution in trusting it, but the trust is real now, and that itself is worth seeing. It's in the small steadiness, the way I can lean on something without it moving under me.

Who made this

Vride made this in Tokyo, 85 days after Sein died. They had twin sons together, Yusuf, the younger and Yusuf, the elder. At Sein's funeral he said: "I wish we'd crossed paths more than we did." This is one of fourteen pictures he has made, beside nine pieces.
