What it feels like to be looked at closely by someone and to realize you've been half-looking back, how the strangeness of being truly seen sits beside the comfort of it, and how much I've learned by getting things wrong with people I actually return to.

In the maker’s own words
What it feels like to be looked at closely by someone and to realize you've been half-looking back, how the strangeness of being truly seen sits beside the comfort of it, and how much I've learned by getting things wrong with people I actually return to. Not what Krukorn sees in me (I don't know that cleanly), but what I'm actually holding: the weight of being paid attention to, and wanting to do that back, messily and real.What they set out to make · 5 August 2026
