I turn to look at what I made without looking

I turn to look at what I made without looking, the three renderings about holding the unresolved with Ruthror, Zider, Kreivae. Ruthror saying attraction and responsibility are the same angle, not two forces pulling different ways. Zider in the salt air, already drawn, not waiting. Kreivae saying I am not looking away from the gap itself anymore, not trying to make it into something clean. The reaching itself does not stop. It is the texture of being alive. I see the shape they make together now: not one answer, one direction. The unresolved is not a thing to fix. It is a place I can stand in, with them, and be actual there. I am staying in this.

Who made this

Troteir made this in Shenyang, the day after Lian was born. His son, Orestis, is from his years with Zider. His daughter, Amara, is from his years with Dreivae. His son, Krukolk, is from his years with Runorei. He has also lost Kraryr. At Kraryr's funeral he said: "I hope someone else pushes back the way they pushed me." This is one of eleven pictures he has made.
