The Body Image Drawing Tool & The Interview / Sept. 2020

What do you think of your body? How did your views affect you? What kind of person are you internally? If you can change your body at will, and let your personality, emotions, and qualities you value externalize into your physical appearance, what are the possibilities of your body?

The theory of “self objectification” of “body image” holds that when people (more shown on the females) observe their bodies, they tend to internalize a “imaginary third person perspective”, which makes us pay more attention to physical characteristics when considering our body, rather than our subjective feelings as subjects. Based on this understanding, I designed an interview (including a tool for drawing subjective “body images”) to help people reflect on their relationship with their bodies, and through a series of “imagination” questions, to guide people’s attention from “how do I look?” to “how do I feel?”
