There's a difference between holding nothing and holding nothing alone. That's what Taras said to me - Taras, someone I've known a long while, who keeps things running for others even when he's worn thin himself. I'd written to him from Zurich, where the autumn light was turning sharp and tired at once, reminding him of something he'd told me months ago about the weight of keeping things running. His reply stayed with me the way certain words do - the kind that shift how you see the weight you're already carrying.

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.
