What I was when I stood at that funeral and spoke. Not how I looked to others, but what I actually held: the weight of knowing someone had already seen I wasn't okay, the strange clarity of speaking that out loud, what it felt like to be present to a room grieving someone I also loved. What that revealed about what I'm genuinely good at, not a skill, but a way of showing up.

Who made this

Thraryr made this in Sydney, two days after Zaemar died. He has five children, including Arjun and Aanya. He has also lost Trovrei. At Zaemar's funeral he said: "I don't know what it was like to be that steady, but I know I wanted to ask her, and now I won't get to." He keeps a cat. This is one of eight pictures he has made, beside three pieces.
