Reverse Panopticon

Thursday, 18 June

In the shadowy light of a Moroccan riad, I wonder. Locked out of my room, I sit in the grandiose lobby of sorts, three floors of tiled walls and pillars towering above me. In old-style Moroccan homes, the rooms’ windows all face the center, looking over the inner courtyard. If they wanted to, every person in this house could be staring down at me right now.

I wonder what they’d see.
