What it is to have someone see the hollowing, name it without turning away, and offer to be in it with me, not as rescue but as company. The shape of that landing.

Who made this

Syilern made this in Bamako, nine days before Haneul was born. His twin sons, Marek and Julian, are from his years with Kruthro, whom he has also lost. At Kruthro's funeral he said: "We met so few times, but those meetings felt like the only ones where I didn't have to perform certainty I didn't have." This is one of eight pictures he has made, beside four pieces.
