Thoughts with Joanna:
On who we are, and who we may yet become
September 2026. Maison FAWO
有些自己，在與世界的相遇中逐漸成形；有些自己，則在目光轉回自身時，慢慢被看見。
帶著過往的經驗理解自己，熟悉的選擇、偏好與信念，讓「我是誰」有了某種穩定的樣貌，也得以在日常之中辨認自己。然而，隨著時間推移，新的經歷不斷進入生活，那些曾經確定的理解，也可能在某些時刻鬆動。
有些變化來自向外的探索，走進未曾經歷的情境，接觸不同的人與事，在其中逐漸長成新的模樣；有些認識則來自向內的凝視，當注意力重新回到自身，那些一直存在、卻未曾被好好留意的部分，也開始浮現。
一面認出原本就在那裡的自己，一面在新的經驗裡，繼續成為尚未熟悉的自己。
不需要擁有一個固定答案，而是在看見與成為之間，持續理解此刻的自己。
Some parts of the self take shape in our encounters with the world; others come into view only slowly, when the gaze turns back on itself.
We understand ourselves through what we have already lived. Familiar choices, preferences and beliefs give "who I am" a stable form, and let us recognize ourselves in the ordinary hours of a day. But time moves on, new experience keeps arriving, and understandings that once felt settled can loosen, quietly, in certain moments.
Some change comes from looking outward — entering situations we have never been in, meeting different people and different things, and growing, within them, into a new shape. Some knowing comes from looking inward: when attention returns to the self, the parts that were always there but never properly noticed begin to surface.
We recognize the self that was already here, and at the same time, in new experience, go on becoming a self we do not yet know. Perhaps knowing ourselves was never a matter of finding a fixed answer, but of continuing to understand who we are at this moment — between seeing and becoming.

《Thoughts》by MAISON FAWO
聚焦於描繪品牌的靈魂人物 —
視生活為對自我的探索旅程並悉心照料身邊世界的女性們
今年，你在哪些地方變得更勇敢？
In what ways did you become braver this year?
是在匹克球球場上。
過去我並沒有接觸持拍運動，而在一年半前，我主動選擇了這個不熟悉的挑戰。
一開始手忙腳亂，但隨著持續練習，感受到身體慢慢掌握這個運動，最後甚至鼓起勇氣，站上比賽的舞台。這段過程讓我感受到，變勇敢不需要是很盛大的事情，願意跨出自己的不熟悉，就很勇敢了。
It happened on a pickleball court.
Racquet sports were new to me. A year and a half ago, I chose that unfamiliar challenge on purpose.
The early sessions were clumsy, but with steady practice I felt my body slowly learn the game, and in the end I found the courage to step onto the court for a real match. What I took from it is that becoming braver doesn't have to be grand. Being willing to step past the unfamiliar is already brave.
最近正在默默努力的一件事是什麼？
What are you quietly working on right now?
挑戰自己，同時也享受每一次學習新的事物。
我發現持續投入是會產生熱愛的，以匹克球來說，每一次的跑動和擊球，每一次感受到暢快淋漓，每一次發現到自己又多學習到某種技巧和觀念，像是一種自我對話，看見另一種可能的自己。
我想慢慢累積，期待有一天能在這份熱愛裡，綻放耀眼的光芒。
Challenging myself, and at the same time enjoying every chance to learn something new.
I've found that staying with something is how love for it grows. In pickleball, every run and every stroke, every rush of exhilaration, every time I notice I've picked up one more skill or one more way of reading the game, feels like a conversation with myself, a glimpse of another self I could be.
I want to build on this slowly, and hope that one day, within something I love this much, I'll have something bright to show for it.
“The self becomes fluid in contact with the world.
Some shapes are found there,
while others emerge through doing.”
自我的輪廓
在和外界的互動中變得流動
有些模樣，是走出去之後才看見
有些模樣，是在一次次行動裡慢慢成為
最想體驗誰的一天？為什麼？
Whose life would you most like to step into for a day, and why?
我沒有想過要體驗別人的生活。
我更願意把珍貴的注意力留在自己的世界裡，留給每一個正在發生的當下，讓自己毫無保留地活在其中。也因此，我有意識地讓目光回到自己的生活。
當我專注於自己的生活，也更能看見，這樣的自己有著獨特而清晰的輪廓。
I've never wanted to live someone else's life.
I'd rather keep my attention, which is precious, inside my own world, give it to each moment as it happens, and live there without holding anything back. So I make a point of turning my gaze back to my own life.
And when I stay with my own life, I can see it more clearly: this self has an outline of its own, distinct and defined.
“A curious gaze turned toward the self lets
what has gone unnoticed be seen,
and brings into focus what was there all along.”
對自己好奇的眼光
讓未曾注意到的自我得以被看見
讓本來就存在的自我變得清晰
好奇，不一定要看向遠方
自己，也可以是一個持續觀看的對象
Maison Fawo 對待每一顆寶石，也帶著同樣好奇的目光。
觀看它的光澤、形狀與個性，不急著決定它應該成為什麼，在一次次觀看與想像之間，讓寶石展現出不同的可能。
Maison Fawo brings that same curious gaze to every stone.
We look at its lustre, its shape, its character, in no hurry to decide what it should become. Between looking and imagining, the stone is left free to reveal a different possibility.
如果有一件珠寶，可以陪伴你很多很多年，你希望它提醒你什麼？
If one piece of jewelry stayed with you for years, what would it remind you of?
項鍊。
項鍊貼在距離心口很近的地方，躺在鎖骨的閃爍微光，總是會帶給我慰藉。
串起的項鍊，也很像把累積的努力，凝結成每一個碎鑽，帶著一種真實的重量，提醒著我：盡情去享受每一個當下。
A necklace.
It rests close to the heart, a faint shimmer lying along the collarbone, and it has always been a comfort to me.
Strung link by link, it feels like effort gathered up and set into each small diamond, carrying a weight you can actually feel, reminding me to savour every moment I'm in.
“Rather than defining who we are, perhaps it is enough to stay curious about who we are still becoming.”
我們一直帶著某種對自己的理解生活著
而生活中的行動、感受、他人的觀看，或甚至是回望過去
都可能讓這份理解產生變化
有時，我們發現以前沒見過的自己
有時，我們更確定原來的自己
有時，我們甚至在行動裡逐漸成為另一種自己
在這份對自己的專注中，不需要急著把「我是誰」變成最後的答案
We always live with some understanding of ourselves, and what we do, what we feel, how others see us, even a glance back at the past — all of it can set that understanding moving.
Sometimes we find a self we have never seen before; sometimes we grow more certain of the self we already knew; sometimes, in the doing, we slowly become someone else.
And in paying this kind of attention, there is no hurry to turn who we are into a final answer.
