What I see: this is not confusion, it is the real thing, the inseparable thing. The threads do not pull against each other, they move as a single weaving, and that unity does not erase the distance, does not flatten it into closeness. The distance *is* part of the weaving.

Who made this

Meivaen made this in Gaziantep, two days before Aylin was born. He has seven children, including Aylin and Deniz. 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.
