该项目起源于主创对自己进行身体记录的想法。在去掉所有修饰，观察经常被忽视或被过度关注的身体细节之后，她们察觉到自身的身体观念受外部世界的影响与塑造，同时也对由身体而展现出的时代、历史变迁和日常生活的痕迹，体肤之下私历史与公共历史的交织产生了浓厚的兴趣。

我们希望引导女性将目光重新投向自身，破除主流价值观下由美与丑出发看待身体的单一视角，强调体肤之下蕴藏的深刻历史，通过对女性身体和身体故事的观察和记录，持续思考如何可持续地保存和呈现Herstory。

The project originated from the creator's idea of documenting their own body. After stripping away all embellishments and observing the often overlooked or excessively focused body details, They realized that their body perceptions were influenced and shaped by the external world. At the same time, They developed a strong interest in the traces of time, historical changes, and daily life revealed by the body, as well as the intertwining of personal history and public history beneath the skin.

We aim to redirect women's gaze towards themselves, to break away from the singular perspective of beauty and ugliness dictated by mainstream values. We emphasize the profound history hidden beneath the skin, continuously contemplating how to sustainably preserve and present Herstory through the observation and documentation of women's bodies and their stories.

我本身是接受自己这个样子的，

但是有一部分我会不由自主地想去改变，

想让它变成我心目中觉得美的，可以展示的。

I do accept my body as it is,

but some part of me can't help to change my body,

to make it beautiful and presentable enough in my mind.

我想有腹肌，就一方面可能是就觉得有腹肌很酷，另一方面我是觉得也是健康，也代表我是有一个很好的体态是我练出来的，这是健康的。

I want to have abs. On one hand, I think having abs looks cool. On the other hand, I see it as a sign of health—it represents a well-trained body that I’ve worked for, which is a reflection of good health.
