Donald Trump, in his recent meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, provided a striking example of narcissistic behavior. Many people were outraged, others felt embarrassed, and many applauded him. His actions sparked countless debates and even inspired satire.
But one question remained unanswered: “Why did he behave this way?”
In response to the event, opposition media largely turned to comedy, exaggerating Trump’s behavior to entertain audiences while highlighting its absurdity.
However, this exhibition takes a different approach. Rather than just mocking, it aims to dig deeper—to explore why individuals with this kind of personality rise to power and how they ultimately come to behave this way.
We often assume that narcissists love themselves, that their behavior stems from extreme confidence and a belief in their own perfection. But in reality, the opposite is true. Narcissists don’t love themselves; they despise themselves.
Their self-worth is so fragile that they require constant validation from those around them. Deep down, they feel powerless, which is why they are obsessed with proving their power.
