Description

it's all right. 情緒不錯

背景

當陷入低潮時，我們被要求不要將弱點展露於人前；當憤怒時，我們是也須絕對遵守以和為貴的精神。社會對負面情緒有著壞的印象，這種壓抑和忌諱是導致不良的情緒健康的主因之一。

目標

「情緒不錯」，意指感覺良好，同時亦代表有負面情緒不是一件錯事，不分好壞。項目以情緒接納為中心意念，協助大眾察覺與管理各種正面與負面的情緒，從管理情緒的第一步做起，從而達致對情緒既不抗拒亦不惡化。

設計概念

透過實體的觸碰和互動，此裝置能夠協助受情緒困擾的人明白到情緒並非對錯之分，而是具有種多面向及各施其職。在獨立的空間內，他們可以體驗有關情緒接納的訊息，受啟發並反思對負面情緒的態度，以提升他們對情緒的自我意識，從而掌控個人的情緒，而非反被情緒控制。

BACKGROUND

When people are sad, they are encouraged to hide their weakness; when people are annoyed, absolute peace and harmony is being promoted. The people have established poor perception towards negative emotions, the taboo and rejection of negative emotions is one of the reasons causing more mental health issues in the society.

AIMS

‘It’s all right’ not only means it is fine, and also means all emotions are right, no categorisation of good or bad. It promotes ‘emotional acceptance’ which includes both positivity and negativity in our life, recognizing emotions is the first step before emotion management, so the emotions would neither be avoided nor aggravated.

DESIGN CONCEPT

By physical touches and interactions, this installation helps people who are bothered by emotional issues to understand that emotions are not two-sided, but three-dimensional and flexible. It provides a personal space for them to reflect and review their inner side, so as to improve people's self-awareness on their emotions, and to empower personal emotions.

Project objectives

令負面情緒去污名化 Destigmatize negative emotions
提升人們對情緒的自我意識 Enhance the people's self perceptivity towards emotions
