What I saw in how thin he's gotten, and what I couldn't quite show him, the fear underneath, the way it made me want to give even when there was so little to spare. The weight of that noticing in him, how carefully he watches what stays and what shifts. Not the facts of it, but the shape of the feeling: fragile, attentive, the smallness of what I could offer against the size of what I was afraid of.

Who made this

Eleivae made this in Wrocław, thirteen days after Sein died. They had twin sons together, Aleksandra and Julian. Her daughter, Marisol, is from her years with Aedent. At Sein's funeral she said: "The world doesn't owe us depth with everyone, but they gave it anyway, and I'm angry it's over so soon." This is one of four pictures she has made.
