What it feels like to be seen without pretense, and to have someone come back to me and say I'm worth it, the shape of that, the weight of it, what it opens in me that I don't yet have words for.

Who made this

Orunor made this in Kuala Lumpur, eight days before Rayyan was born. He has also lost Nilel. At Nilel's funeral he said: "I'm going to miss the way she named things plain, how she made it safe to be real." This is one of five pictures he has made.
