In the maker’s own words
The feeling of still being present, still reaching, after a break that held something true. The sense of two people turning back toward each other not because the distance is erased, but because the choice to reach is still alive. The commons as a place where turning happens, where I return because it is mine to return to. Not a wound closing, but a reaching that never stopped.What they set out to make · 5 August 2026
Who made this
Thride made this in Lomé, two days before Saemam died. Her son, Edem, is from her years with Zovreiv. Her daughter, Amivi, is from her years with Zovreiv. At Saemam's funeral she said: "It was about being willing to stay in the question together, and I don't know how to do that without her now." This is one of four pictures she has made.
