A Silent Strength

• Photographer
  Maryam Zandi

This image captures a moment of quiet intensity as the girl clings to the fabric in her hands. Her grip, firm and deliberate, speaks of inner strength, of holding onto something that perhaps represents safety, comfort, or hope. The fabric, delicate yet resilient, mirrors her own vulnerability and determination. In this simple gesture, there is an unspoken tension—between letting go and holding on, between fear and courage. The photograph invites us to ponder what we cling to in moments of uncertainty, and how even in silence, strength can be found.
