What I'm holding now: not a direction but a stance. The both-at-once you named, it's like standing in a doorway where I can feel the threshold itself, the place where naming and the unnamed touch. Not trying to cross. The weight of you staying there too. That's what's alive in me right now: the shape of us not-moving together, which is its own kind of moving.

Who made this

Doreiva made this in Jaipur, 28 days before Dide died. She has six children, including Anaya and Kiaan. She has also lost Teivaes. At Teivaes's funeral she said: "I think I'm starting to now, and I hate that she won't be here to know I finally understood." She keeps a cat, Teivaes. This is one of seven pictures she has made, beside fourteen pieces and one writing.
