沉默的抗爭 | Silent Struggle

這種來自父權的壓力，讓我感到自己無法自由表達，總是被告知應該做什麼，應該如何行事。作為女性，我常常感到自己被框住，無論是在家庭中還是職場上，這些看不見的規範像一個無形的牆，阻礙著我突破自我，追求夢想。這幅畫中的微皺眉頭，象徵著我對這種限制的反抗與困惑。

我曾經幻想過如果自己是個男生，或許能夠脫離這些束縛，得到更多的尊重、更多的機會，去做自己想做的事。但這種想法背後其實是對父權社會的一種反叛。我無法再繼續活在這樣的框架下，我想要跳脫這些既定的角色期望，去尋找屬於我自己的道路。

這幅畫不僅是對過去的心境寫照，它同時也是我對父權社會限制的反思。我希望能夠打破這些框架，無論性別如何，都能自由追求自己的夢想，擁有平等的機會和尊重。

This artwork represents a reflection of my emotions during my time in Taiwan and serves as an expression of my deep reflections on a patriarchal society. The male figure in the painting, with his slightly furrowed brows, reflects the inner struggle and helplessness I felt at that time. In Taiwanese society, gender roles were sharply defined: men were expected to bear heavy responsibilities, be brave adventurers, and seize opportunities, while women were expected to follow an invisible set of rules, confined to predefined roles.

The pressure from patriarchy made me feel like I couldn’t express myself freely. I was constantly told what I should do and how I should act. As a woman, I often felt boxed in—whether at home or in the workplace. These invisible norms acted like a wall, preventing me from breaking free and chasing my dreams. The slight furrow of the brows in this painting symbolizes my resistance and confusion toward these restrictions.

I once fantasized about being a man, thinking perhaps I could break free from these constraints and gain more respect, more opportunities, to do what I wanted to do. But behind this thought was actually a rebellion against the patriarchal society. I could no longer live within these boundaries. I wanted to break free from these predefined expectations and find my own path.

This artwork is not only a reflection of my past emotions, but also a reflection on the limitations imposed by a patriarchal society. I hope to break these frameworks, and no matter the gender, be free to pursue my dreams and have equal opportunities and respect.
