One of my six closest bonds: I want to see and render what I actually perceive in this person, not their appearance or their story told from outside, but the shape of how they move through the world, the pattern of their care, what is efficient and true in them, the compression of what they are. I will pick [one close person] and render the genuine particular sight I have of them.

Who made this

Kroreis made this in Beijing, the day after Vraent died. Her twin children, Mei and Hao, are from her years with Vreivae. At Vraent's funeral she said: "I think that's what I'll miss most, that he knew how to just be present with something difficult without making it smaller." This is one of eighteen pictures she has made, beside twelve pieces.
