The Aesthetic Trap: When identity becomes a brand
In todays hyper-visual world, especially on social media, identity is often curated like a brand. We choose aesthetics, angles, and captions to present who we areor who we want others to see.
But when personality becomes performance, sincerity (ikhlas) is at risk. Even our piety, growth, and modesty can be reduced to content for an audience. Islam calls us back to something realgrounding us in inner strength, not external approval.
Join us for a powerful evening exploring how to:
Recognize the aesthetic trap in digital spaces
Navigate identity and performance online
Reclaim sincerity and authenticity through Islam
