Why our work matters 我們的核心理念
It’s Never "Just" About Looks | 外貌焦慮,從不「只是」表面問題
對自己的外貌感到焦慮,從不只是表面問題。媒體和社會的信息常讓我們誤以為外表代表了內在價值。當我們陷入身體形象的困擾,這種焦慮會蔓延至生活的每個角落——打擊自尊、威脅身心靈健康,甚至阻礙我們與他人建立真誠的連結。
Media and societal messages have conditioned us to believe our physical appearance dictates our inner worth. When we struggle with body image, it has a ripple effect on every aspect of our lives - it can crush our self-esteem, threaten our mental and physical wellbeing, and pull us away from the people we love.
The Power of Our Untold Stories | 我們未被訴說的故事的力量
我們不斷被各種「雕塑」、「改造」和「改變」身體的訊息轟炸,幾乎沒有空間去單純欣賞與讚美自己的身體。更雪上加霜的是,傳統亞洲文化價值觀往往傾向壓抑情感。當我們隱藏自己的掙扎時,最終會感到深刻的疏離、孤獨與不被理解。
We are constantly bombarded with messages telling us to "sculpt," "transform," and "change" our bodies, leaving no room to simply appreciate and celebrate them. Compounding this, traditional Asian cultural values often favor emotional suppression. When we hide our struggles, we end up feeling profoundly disconnected, lonely, and misunderstood.
How we can rewrite the story, together | 透過對話,翻轉社會敘述
研究顯示,人與人之間的連結對我們的生存而言,與食物、水和睡眠同等基本。我們相信,對話能夠改變文化。透過公開談論我們與食物、身體的關係,聆聽不同的觀點,並探索挑戰社會常模的方法,我們彼此賦予了一種語言,用以擺脫那些根深蒂固的有害信念。我們可以一起從被動的旁觀者,轉變為社區中推動改變的積極行動者。
Research shows that human connection is as fundamental to our survival as food, water, and sleep. We believe that conversations change culture. By speaking openly about our relationships with food and our bodies, boldly engaging with different perspectives, and exploring ways to challenge societal norms, we give each other the language to break free from harmful, ingrained beliefs. Together, we can move from being passive bystanders to active agents of change in our communities.
