Abeer Aref & Sama Al Kurdi  The Essence of Trust

The Essence of Trust
We are all told to be careful around strangers but we are never taught how to navigate the betrayal of trust from those closest to us. I wrote this poem to express the pain, loss, and despair that comes when a loved one breaks our trust. And how we should never allow this pain to take away our faith and trust in others, and ourselves.

The series of images expresses the idea of strength and resilience that can come from within oneself, even in the absence of external support. The first image shows a lonely person standing aloof, but as the series progresses, the second image shows the shadows of supporters behind him, which symbolizes the strength and determination that stems from the support of others and the beginning of self-reliance.

This concept can be used to emphasize the idea that while external support can be beneficial, we also possess a great deal of strength and resilience within ourselves, and we can draw on our internal resources to overcome challenges when needed.
