Day537【Blind Spot】

A daily monochrome photo-poetry series by naozo. Since 2025, each work pairs a moment from everyday life with a poem from NZ, the artist's future self. Through glass, light, and silence, the series turns self-doubt into dialogue.

Day537【Blind Spot】

DEAR naozo,

The question is not

Can you see

The question is

Whether you see only

what you wish to see

People

Do not lose their way

Because of darkness

They lose their way

Because of certainty

Sometimes

I wonder

Whether the thing

we should doubt most

Is not another person's words

But our own sense

of being right

To focus

Is not to choose

It is to discard

The moment you choose

one thing

Countless possibilities

Disappear

Yet

People call that

Decision

Belief has blind spots

Love has blind spots

Justice has blind spots

That is why

I fear the certain

More than the uncertain

Those who doubt

Pause

But those who are certain

Keep moving

Even when they are wrong

That is what

makes them dangerous

Do not believe

That you see everything

Beyond the edge

of your view

May stand the thing

That will betray

your certainty

People

Are not wounded

By what they cannot see

They are wounded

By what they believed

they understood

So

From time to time

Look back

Doubt

Ask yourself

What remains unseen

What do you think
