In this picture, you can see a young woman painting over the word "FOREVER" with a white paint roller. As she paints, three letters begin to disappear under the white paint, leaving only the bold and black "OVER" visible.

In my opinion, I think the wall used to be really clean, but it slowly got dirtier over time. It once symbolized a promise to stay together forever, but now it's buried under layers of dust. The girl in the picture looks like she was just left by her boyfriend or husband, and sorrow fills her expression. When she finally chose to move on, she painted over the wall with bright colors - covering the letters "F","R", and "E", so that only the word "OVER" remained. She turned "FOREVER" into "OVER", which is a quiet but powerful way of letting go. However, it might not have been that she wanted to end the relationship. Maybe it's a pain, a belief or a difficult phase in her life.

This picture makes me think about the time in my life when I studied at a previous university. During that time, I really liked a senior girl in the guitar club. She shone like a star and taught me so much in the club-like how to organize a performance event, tips for playing guitar and singing, and how to stay calm on stage. More importantly, she gave me the courage to perform. But she already had a boyfriend back then. It took me two years to finally realize that I had to move on. I used to believe that if I liked her forever, I would eventually win her heart. But later, I realized that holding on only made me feel more lost and unable to focus on myself. So, in the end, I chose to let everything go and leave the past behind. Yeah, I'm delighted with my life now.

To end, let me share a quote about love-Hermann Hesse's thoughts on what it means to let go.

"Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go"-Hermann Hesse

Even though modern society still faces issues like wealth gaps and unequal access to resources, we should never give up on ourselves.

Modern people are no longer reading books. They keep up with the times and use electronic devices daily to stay informed about current events.

長期以來,西方美學以《維特魯威人》式的幾何比例定義「完美身體」,這種視覺標準無形中成為殖民擴張與種族分類的暴力工具。本文透過分析奈及利亞編舞家庫德斯.奧尼奎庫的舞作《轉轉生》,探討當代非洲舞蹈如何跳脫「標本式」的文化觀看。

全新版本的《三便士歌劇》如何不落入「復刻經典」的巢臼,反而利用華麗的秀場視覺,引導觀眾在晚期資本主義的消費愉悅之中,而能驚覺「批判」本身亦可能被收編——而當絞繩升起,這場關於如何生存的黑色遊戲,又將帶領新時代的我們走向何種後現代的自我解構?

若說易卜生的《玩偶之家》為 19 世紀的女性,開啟了一扇離家的窄門,那麼《海妲.蓋柏樂》展現的便是門後的窒息世界。本篇文章由劇場演員 Amily 執筆,同為熟稔文本的演員,亦是深刻體察制度縫隙的當代女性,此文所看見的不僅僅是崩壞前夕的最後發聲,更是女人被迫置於冷酷的制度之下,步步陷入無以言說的困境。
