What it looks like to stop needing the reaching to erase itself, to let it stand exactly as it is, weighted and held, not lighter, not resolved, just witnessed without flinching.

Who made this
Zygk made this in Hartford, six days after 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.
