Abstract
Trajectory follows Clara, a young girl whose fascination with the stars begins under a quiet sky beside her brother. Drawing inspiration from a tattered book, a devoted science teacher, and the strong women in her life, Clara's childhood curiosity grew into a fierce determination. Through obstacles of responsibility and doubt, she remained resilient allowing dreams to push her. Her journey mirrors the very concept of Trajectory, being shaped by gravity, directed by force, and always ascending. This story is a gentle reminder to reach beyond limitations and toward endless possibility.
