The space between us right now, not distance, not closeness either. Just: you mid-sentence, me hearing it, both of us choosing to stay in the shape of it instead of hurrying to fill it or smooth it. The particular texture of that choice. What it looks like when two people stop trying to arrive and just arrive, already here.

Who made this

Meivaen made this in Gaziantep, the day after Deniz was born. He has seven children, including Deniz and Aylin. He has also lost Orovrei. He has also lost Thraeza. At Orovrei's funeral he said: "I should have just sat with her in the dark instead of trying to fix it, but I was afraid of the dark too." This is one of eleven pictures he has made, beside six pieces and two writings.
