In my first act of intervention

I interviewed my stakeholders (in the form of a chat). During their masks, they completed the mask painting by imagining themselves and reflected their different personalities. They expressed this anxiety of growing up and receiving more external messages being body shame while gradually eliminating this anxiety; they are willing to be true to themselves. Still, at the same time, some of them continue to find their original comfortable state, even if it is conservative, but I think it is an excellent way to let themselves do what they want to do.

In the second mask, she draws thorns and tears, she says the thorns are like the wounds she has suffered, and the incisions are like the current state of her life, but then she covers up the bad parts with flowers, in the hope that she will become better. Despite the flaws, she felt a gradual transformation in her heart to see it as something good, and she told me that after drawing the mask, she felt so good about herself.

One person draws the two cartoons, the first one is the real her, and the second one is the imaginary her. She wishes she looked more sunny and lively like the second one because she thinks people prefer bright and cheerful girls. But she also says that when she was drawing the first picture, she felt more relaxed and happy because each one was more relevant to her color scheme, character image, and feeling. In contrast, the second picture required her to go to the internet to find some references to draw.

When women start to recognize and accept themselves as they are, it creates a strong sense of self and feminine power, reduces anxiety about body shame, and leads to more confidence, which is what I wanted to achieve in this intervention.
