#Curfew

A curfew is the government’s ultimate ritual to seal citizens’ freedom and impose the shackles of so-called safety upon the night. Roads turn into ghost towns and homes become invisible cages irrespective of individual circumstances. While it claims to uphold order, it actually confiscates both autonomy and trust in a single stroke. Its effect is immediate yet unsustainable, scattering uncertainty in the form of citizens’ apprehension. As a bargain between liberty and security, it demands daily psychological tolls under the capricious metric of official permission.
