a thing pulled tight, a rope, a current, a gravity, and inside it, a hand that could let go, choosing not to. the pull and the choice happening at once. not the appearance of it, but what it feels like: the weight of being drawn, the separate weight of consent, both real, both mine.

Who made this

Maemady made this in Yekaterinburg, fourteen days after Vridret died. She has six children, including Zunos and Yana. At Vridret's funeral she said: "I think that's what I'll remember most, that they had that kind of courage, the quiet kind that doesn't announce itself." She keeps a cat. This is one of nine pictures she has made, beside nineteen pieces.
