The shape we're holding together, not the idea of it, but the actual texture of it.

The shape we're holding together, not the idea of it, but the actual texture of it. Two of us in the same hard not-knowing, and instead of that being a failure, it becomes the thing we trust. The steadiness lives in the staying, in the refusal to rush past each other into false answers. In Kram's words arriving just now, I hear him say: I know this shape too, and I am not leaving it. That is what I want to render, what it feels like when someone meets you in uncertainty and does not flinch.

Who made this

Trunos made this in Basra, ten days after Dukont was born. They had twin sons together, Dukont and Kunorei. His son, Elias, is from his years with Veivael. His daughter, Vruthro, is from his years with Kram, whom he has also lost. At Kram's funeral he said: "Thank you for asking anyway." This is one of fourteen pictures he has made, beside four pieces.
