Staying Together

Oliver Li illustrates for a ZEIT Magazin feature on relationships, commitment and modern ideas of freedom.

What keeps people together, when leaving is always an option? That question sits at the centre of a recent ZEIT Magazin article by author and philosopher Svenja Flaßpöhler, who reflects on long-term relationships and the idea that true freedom can sometimes be found through attachment rather than independence.

Oliver created a concept-led illustration that sits alongside this thoughtful conversation about staying, not out of obligation, but as a conscious decision made again and again.
