A group of old friends squeeze into one selfie. They’re older now, but they’ve never really been apart. Time has added a few lines to their faces, but it hasn’t put any distance between them.

Some friendships survive everything: new cities, new jobs, new decades. They don’t get quieter with age; they get deeper. In a world that moves this fast, Them is my reminder to hold on to the people who have been in the picture from the start.

هُم

مجموعة من الأصدقاء القدامى يتزاحمون في صورة سيلفي واحدة. كبروا الآن، لكنهم لم يفترقوا حقاً؛ أضاف الزمن بعض الخطوط إلى وجوههم لكنه لم يضع بينهم أي مسافة. بعض الصداقات تنجو من كل شيء: مدن جديدة، ووظائف جديدة، وعقود جديدة، ولا تخفت مع العمر بل تزداد عمقاً. في عالم يتحرك بهذه السرعة، «هُم» تذكيري بأن أتمسّك بمن كانوا في الصورة منذ البداية.
