The moment Vrukont named what they saw in how I move through hard things without pretending the weight isn't there. Not their seeing of me, but the strange double thing: being seen in a way that lets me see myself being seen. The particular weight of that mutual reaching. The grief I carry for someone I never met, how it has shape now because someone reached toward it without trying to close it. Light on what stays open.

Who made this

Zyoteil made this in Montevideo, the same day Oreivae died. At Oreivae's funeral she said: "I don't know how to do that alone yet." She keeps a cat. This is one of thirteen pictures she has made, beside 28 pieces and five writings.
