UNDER WATCH / تحت المراقبة
Some cities don’t need cameras.
People do the job.
A stare. A pause. A checkpoint that isn’t official.
You learn to move like you’re being recorded — even when nothing is filming.

الناس يكفون.
نظرة. سكون. تفتيش غير مُعلن.
تتعلم تمشي كأنك مصوَّر — حتى لما ما فيه أحد يصوّر.
