For the essays in this issue, we commissioned and chose works about friendship; the images are not meant as literal reflections of the text. Above is “In Memory of a Sure Thing” (2021), made exclusively for T by the New York-based artist Alanna Fields, who said: “Since the onset of the pandemic, a lot of my friends have moved out of the city, and the dynamics of our relationships have changed.
