Let us think through other eyes as they gaze upon this world so that we may unsettle reality and liberate doubt. We are looking for a version of the truth - in soft shadows, from the corner of a private room, under harsh fluorescents, through careful microscopes, or in memories made visible on film. Here, we imagine the perceptions of another to escape the confines of the body, acknowledging its limits while refusing the forces that constrain free will.
