Kafka was well known for sending his own portraits to his various flames. To Kafka it was a form of self-sacrifice by giving up his likeness to the perception of others.
"Prague acts on Kafka with all of its metamorphosing power, confining him to an existential space which he can only enter by "fixing my gaze on the surface of things", Prague forces Kafka into a spatial stranglehold, perversely dosing out its secrets."
