We are witnessing human suffering with an intimacy once unimaginable.

Through the screens we carry into our homes, we watch children pulled from rubble, families displaced, hospitals destroyed and entire communities devastated. Violence no longer happens beyond our sight; it arrives in our hands.

We see it. We know it is happening. And still, we remain seated.

Witness sits within this uncomfortable contradiction: physically distant, yet unable to claim ignorance. The chair becomes a place from which we watch, remember and question our own passivity.

The question is no longer whether we can see, but what seeing demands of us.
