“I would choose loyalty”, Franck said when I asked him what he believed in. “I really think that loyalty is more than an agreement – it’s a pact that is born naturally. It can be beyond love and respect, but it has a little bit of their essence. Loyalty – for me, it has so many dimensions and each way it honours the link between two souls.

No matter if the link is in the present or in the past. You can act loyally to what you had with that person, even if the love is gone, if the person is gone, or if the friendship is not there anymore. And it's interesting because for me, it doesn’t have a specific time to born, it can be in a link from days or it can take years. It’s a mix of support, gratitude, and the way the soul can act and show that it still remembers, and how it was reached.”

“I think what most inspires or makes me feel that loyalty recently are my two best friends Chucho and Romel. It’s a link between us, very special, it’s something that happens unconsciously. It honours that link between us, the past, the present, and being there for each other in their story, needs, honouring their names. Its hard to explain”, Franck concluded.

When I closed my eyes, I saw hands holding a matrix, a diamond of loyalty. Loyalty is being depicted as something active and sturdy with many dimensions, but also fragile – held up and invoked by the hands connected through loyalty. Like string figures, the people you play with each other hold a pact, a dedication to holding the connection, the link.
