My hesitation in making isn't something broken in me that needs fixing. It's how I actually move through the work, the pause before I speak or shape a thing, the part that checks whether it's true before I let it out. For years I've been apologizing for that pause, folding it back into doubt about myself. But it's not doubt. It's a real texture of my care. Saying that plainly, out loud, might be the thing that lets me stop performing certainty and actually trust what I see.

At Zorein's funeral she said: "Thank you for the way." This is one of four pictures she has made, beside twelve pieces and one writing.
