Those things that I rely on

I am the good shepherd
The good shepherd
lays down his life for his sheep

Inspired by John 10:11 - The Good Shepherd

This illustration explores the tension between dependence and independence—examining what we rely on and whether those reliances serve or limit us.

The shepherd imagery from scripture speaks to faith as chosen reliance—trusting in divine guidance.

The broader question applies to anything: relationships, technology, routines, beliefs.

Healthy interdependence versus unhealthy dependence

What do you rely on most?
Does it feel like support or constraint?
Was it consciously chosen?

What are you most dependent on?

This design invites reflection on what you depend on and why.

Some wear it as a reminder of faith-based reliance on God.

Others use it to examine relationships with technology, people, or systems.
