Kajtaabi
Watching yourself through a stranger’s eyes
Kajtaabi is watching yourself through the eyes of a stranger.
Because the camera looks at you in silence, you come to see that until you let go, you are never set free; sometimes, to find ourselves, we must release what we love.
Freedom, perhaps, lies not in having but in letting go. And in the silence of an empty fishbowl, the sound of life is heard more clearly.
