Watching
Somewhere in the electrified, liminal space between watching and touching, we find and lose ourselves.
In watching, Sarah Teal Axelrod (@beyondbeinggood) brings her unblinking poetic–cinematic gaze to the eroticism of restraint. In this 28‑second study of desire, packed with atmospheric tension, Sarah captures something “dangerous and raw”, where “we long to, but we can’t”. Somewhere in the electrified, liminal space between watching and touching, we find and lose ourselves.
Here
let me watch
the way
like a tarantula
you seem so alone
something lurking
on a blanketless bed
in a box
where there is space
something dangerous
and raw
I long to
but I can't.
