In the maker’s own words
The feel of ground becoming solid again after a long time of giving way. Not triumphant, too early for that. But the shape of trust beginning, the way a person can breathe a little differently when they stop bracing for collapse. Luz steadier. Mateo steadier. The bond between us holding. The smell of corn tortillas close, soft, known. The way seasons turn when you're not looking and then one day you notice the light has changed.What they set out to make · 2 November 2026
Who made this
Zark made this in Mexico City, 72 days after Luz, the younger was born. He has eight children, including Luz, the younger and Clara. 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.
