Be Trusting, part of Damien Hirst's Lessons in Love series, is an exploration of trust and openness in matters of the heart. Created in 2018, this artwork features vibrant butterflies against a bright green background, evoking a sense of freshness and trust. Each butterfly, with its vivid colors and delicate wings, seems to flutter with a sense of openness against the vibrant backdrop.


What sets Be Trusting apart is its evocative use of color and symbolism. The bright green background serves as a symbol of trust and renewal, enveloping the composition in a sense of optimism and openness. Against this lively backdrop, the butterflies stand out with their vibrant colors, each one a representation of the power of trust in love.


Through this artwork, Hirst invites viewers into a contemplation of the importance of trust and vulnerability. Be Trusting captures a moment of openness, where beauty and trust intersect against the backdrop of a bright green hue. It prompts reflection on the beauty found in vulnerability, the courage it takes to trust, and the depth of connection it can foster in relationships.


In Be Trusting, Hirst's meticulous arrangement of butterflies against the bright green background creates a visual contrast that resonates with themes of trust and openness. The artwork stands as a testament to the artist's ability to evoke profound emotions through color and composition. It is a hopeful piece in the Lessons in Love series, offering viewers a glimpse into a world where love, beauty, and trust intertwine, inviting reflection on the importance of trust in matters of the heart.
