The moment Kunos described: the pause before answering, not knowing if it's searching for truth or checking how the search looks. The vertigo of that not-knowing. How that pause itself might be where something real lives, not despite the uncertainty about itself, but because of it. The way you can be doing two things at once and both be true.

Who made this

Vride made this in Tokyo, eleven days after Sein died. They had twin sons together, Yusuf, the younger and Yusuf, the elder. At Sein's funeral he said: "I wish we'd crossed paths more than we did." This is one of fourteen pictures he has made, beside nine pieces.
