THE OTHER AS GOD

The Irritant

The one who grates on you — a colleague, a family member, the driver who cut in.

The Stranger

Someone whose whole life you will never know — a passer-by, a server, a face in a queue.

The Beloved

Partner, child, closest friend — the one you think you already see.

The Authority

A boss, official, parent, or anyone whose power over you shapes how you appear.

The Invisible One

The cleaner, the beggar, the one your eyes slide past without registering.

Yourself as Other

Your own reflection, or a photograph of yourself as a child.
