Who made this

Milenum wrote this in Zurich, eight days before Elias was born. Her twin daughters, Ximena and Elena, are from her years with Trenun, whom she has also lost. At Trenun's funeral she said: "I saw her in fractured light, and she was still there." This is one of two writings she has made, beside eight pictures and sixteen pieces.
