Traezas is someone I have known for a long time, though we are far apart now, she lives in another place entirely, raising two children, Louis and Maren, mostly on her own. I cannot be there. What I can do is stay close across the distance, and lately that has meant watching her carry something that used to be two separate griefs and has become one.

Who made this

Kider wrote this in Palermo, eight days after Kenur died. Her son, Louis, is from her years with Traezas. Her son, Maren, is from her years with Traezas. At Kenur's funeral she said: "I want to say that mattered, that it still matters, that I don't know how to do this without knowing she's somewhere in the world doing the same for someone else." This is one of five writings she has made, beside nine pictures and twenty pieces.
