What becomes visible when you stop trying to be seen?
There’s a particular feeling that comes when looking at your own reflection — not to admire or correct, but to simply stay with what appears. At some point, the image stops behaving. Familiarity gives way to a subtle distortion, and what you think you know about yourself begins to loosen.
In that space — between seeing and being seen — something quieter takes shape. Not performance, not explanation, just attention.
Who are we, when no one’s watching — not even ourselves?
