A man who cannot understand the gestures of others becomes trapped between seeing and being seen. Torsos is a quiet, unsettling story about voyeurism, fragmented bodies, and the collapse of the boundary between observer and object.

Torsos follows a retired-seeming yet rigidly controlled director of an Institute for Suicidal Behavior, a man who struggles to understand the gestures, expressions, and intentions of those around him. After his death, fragments of photographs begin to suggest a world in which bodies are watched, divided, imagined, and consumed by the eyes of others. Rather than unfolding as a conventional mystery, the story examines the unstable boundary between seeing and being seen. Its central figure is not merely an observer, but a person caught inside an excess of internalized gazes. With rain, flashes of light, a red-brick house, and the recurring image of the torso, the work offers a restrained yet disturbing meditation on voyeurism, bodily estrangement, and the way another person's life can become dangerously entangled with one's own.
