Thoughts in Motion:
Conversations on Time, Space, and the Beauty Within
November 2025. Maison FAWO
在不斷流動的世界裡，美從來不是靜止的 — 它隨著我們的呼吸、移動與變化而閃爍。
「流動的思緒 Thoughts in Motion」是一場與創作者的對話，關於時間、空間與存在。每一次傾談都是靜與動之間的平衡練習：我們討論生活、創造，也探索珠寶如記憶般的力量，在光與時間之間，留下一道柔軟的痕跡。
In a world that moves endlessly, beauty is never static — it breathes, shifts, and transforms with us. “Thoughts in Motion” is a series of intimate conversations with creators who live at the intersection of art, time, and presence. Each story reveals a connection between stillness and motion, between how we design, and how we feel. This dialogue aims to trace how jewellery, like memory and emotion, captures the invisible rhythm of being.
Iris- The Flow of Time and Memory
Iris moves fluidly across disciplines: writer, photographer, educator, podcaster, and curator. Through travel, she explores the dialogue between body and spirit, observing how movement reshapes our perception and how unfamiliarity awakens something new within us. Her words carry a timeless, forward-moving clarity, much like Maison FAWO’s jewellery, enduring, fearless, and full of quiet strength.
如果要用一個自然元素代表自己此刻的樣子，會是什麼？
If you were a natural element right now, which would you be?
直覺的會先想到水！最近越來越想要重新學習很多事情: 就像水一樣進到不同的領域，吸收，然後再帶走一些自己的東西。
think it’s water! Lately I’ve been craving the feeling of learning, to move through new spaces the way water does, taking in what I need and carrying a part of myself forward.
在不停移動的生活裡，你怎麼找到「安靜」？
How do you ground yourself when life is moving fast?
「安靜」取決於有沒有感覺活在當下。當身體正在做一件事情心裡卻飄到別的的方，對我來說就是一種不安靜的狀態。在移動的過程中，雖然肉體不停的在不同場景切換，只要全心的活在當下，心裡一樣還是可以很安靜。如果要把自己拉回那個「安靜」的狀態的話，我會讀書，攝影，和寫作。
“Quiet” has nothing to do with noise, it depends on whether I’m present. If my body is doing one thing while my mind drifts somewhere else, that’s when I feel unsettled. Even when I’m constantly moving from one place to another, as long as I’m fully in the moment, my mind can stay quiet. When I need to return to that quiet state, I read, take photos, and write. Those are the things that bring me back to myself.
“When we repeat the same things, time feels faster; but when we try something new, our senses sharpen, and time stretches.”
你覺得時間在旅行裡是被拉長還是被折疊的？
Does time feel stretched or folded when you travel?
分享之前我看到的很喜歡的一句話：做重複的事情的時候，會覺得時間過得比較快; 當在嘗試新的事物時，感官會被放大，所以時間會感覺過得很慢。旅行幫助我時時用「第一次的眼光」去看事情，所以對我來說在旅行的時候時間一定是被拉長的。
I once came across a thought I really liked: when we repeat the same things, time feels faster; but when we try something new, our senses sharpen, and time stretches. That’s why traveling feels different to me. It teaches me to see things with a fresh perspective every time. So the days feel fuller, slower, and beautifully long.
自由對你來說是一種狀態，還是一種選擇？
Is freedom a state of being, or a choice you make?
我對「自由」的解釋滿廣義的，不單只是移動的自由。我覺得旅行教會了我另一種對「自由」的解釋。我很喜歡在獨自旅行時去嘗試全新的事物，肉體和精神上的都有。很多時候在嘗試新的事情都會有點害怕，可是當我去執行這些事情之後，我會得到一種穿越恐懼的感覺。對我來說穿越恐懼是一種自由，所以自由是一種狀態，也是一種選擇。
My interpretation of “freedom” is quite broad, it’s not just about the ability to move from one place to another. Travel has taught me a different meaning of freedom. I love trying new things when I travel alone, both physically and emotionally. There’s always a bit of fear when stepping into something unfamiliar, but once I actually do it, I feel myself moving through that fear. And to me, that feeling of crossing through fear is a form of freedom. So freedom, for me, is both a state of being and a choice.
「 對我而言，肉體的移動幾乎就能夠換取精神上的自由。
我喜歡移動本身的狀態，也喜歡觀看他者如何移動。」
Sharon- The Design of Inner Stillness
After years in Paris, Sharon brought her warm, refined, and deeply human-centered design philosophy to projects around the world. Working as an interior designer, Sharon believes that a space is not merely a vessel for living; it is an extension of one’s inner order. Our conversation moved from “designing spaces” to “designing the self,” exploring how she returns to her core identity while navigating different roles in life. Her steady, gentle aesthetics embody the essence of modern womanhood that Maison FAWO seeks to celebrate.
你心中的「花園」是什麼樣子？平時如何耕耘它？
What does your inner garden look like?
我心中的花園比較抽象，像是能讓我獨處的時光吧。可以安靜地想事情，喝一杯咖啡，或是舒服的泡澡，在我心中都像「花園」般美好的存在。
The “garden” in my mind is something more abstract — it’s really the moments when I get to be alone with myself. A quiet space to think, a cup of coffee, or a slow, comforting bath. Those small pockets of solitude feel like a garden to me: peaceful, grounding, and deeply my own.
你覺得一個空間會不會記得我們的情緒？
Do you think a space can hold the trace of our emotions?
我相信每個空間都有自己的情緒和靈魂。在設計作品時，我通常會先全面了解我clients的生活樣態，因為空間就是生活的避風港。每一個人的日常會幫空間堆疊出他真正生活的畫面，所以我覺得每個人的空間的靈魂都是獨一無二的。
I believe every space carries its own emotions and its own soul. When I design, I always begin by understanding my clients’ lifestyles in a holistic way, because a space is ultimately a sanctuary. The rhythms of a person’s daily life gradually shape the true image of the space they live in, which is why I feel that the soul of every home is entirely unique.

在現實與理想之間，你如何決定什麼要留下、什麼該放下？
Between the practical and the ideal, how do you decide what stays and what you let go of?
拿生小孩這件事舉例：在生產當天，我寫一封信給我自己，裡面是一份guidline, 清楚寫下我想要成為什麼樣的人，什麼樣的母親，很明確的對未來的想像。
這個習慣貫徹在所有不同的人生階段，腦中有對未來的藍圖幫助我清晰地走在實現理想的路上，所以一切不在規劃中的事情很輕鬆的就可以放下了。
Take having a child, for example. On the day I gave birth, I wrote a letter to myself — a guideline of the kind of person, and the kind of mother, I hoped to become. A clear vision of the future I wanted. This habit has followed me through every stage of my life. Keeping a blueprint in my mind helps me stay aligned with the life I want to build. And because that vision is so clear, it becomes easy to let go of anything that doesn’t belong to that path.
如果要把「時間」具象成一種設計元素，你會怎麼呈現？
If “time” were a design element, how would you express it?
我喜歡選擇容易展現時間性的材質，或是能與時間產生作用的設計或物品。
像是有窗戶的設計就能讓光線在不同的時間和季節有不一樣的流動，讓人去觀察空間中些微的變化來體現時間感。
I’m drawn to materials and designs that reveal time, pieces that change subtly as the day or season shifts. A window, for example, lets light move differently from different times in the day. Those small variations in a space make time feel visible, and I love noticing those quiet changes.

Nicy- Light and Self-Reflection
Working within the fast-evolving world of aesthetic medicine, Nicy brings the conversation back to the “light within.” Beyond her role as a doctor, she finds balance through movement, writing, and honest self-reflection. To her, mirrors reveal the exterior, but time reveals the soul. Through Nicy’s reflections, she learns, and teaches us that light appears when we choose to be honest and stay open. And Maison FAWO’s pieces accompany her gently through every version of herself.
你覺得時間會改變美的定義嗎？
Do you think time changes the way we define beauty?
一定會，審美會隨著時間的推移持續變化。以個人的層面來說，審美也會隨著閱歷層層疊代，我覺得這樣的變化很正常。只要審美是建立在對自己真實的認識上，那就是適合自己的。
Absolutely — our sense of beauty evolves with time. On a personal level, it shifts as our experiences accumulate, layer by layer. I think that kind of change is completely natural. As long as your aesthetic is grounded in an honest understanding of who you are, then it will always be the right one for you.
身體會記得情緒嗎？你覺得我們的身體和心理之間，誰在帶領誰？
Do you think the body remembers emotion?
我覺得身體是一個情緒的儲存容器，當身體承載太多情緒時，會很像電腦當機一樣。所以我認為運動是一個很好的出口，當我們把生理顧好，心裡的狀態也會隨之變好。
I think of the body as a container for our emotions. When it holds too much, it’s almost like a computer crashing. That’s why movement feels so important to me, it gives all that stored emotion somewhere to go. And once the body is taken care of, the mind usually follows.
看到許多人對「理想狀態」的渴望，你覺得那是一種想靠近內在平靜的方式嗎？
When people long for an “ideal state,” do you think it’s actually a desire to feel more at ease within themselves?
我自己對理想狀態的定義其實就是回到內心的平靜。當我們刻意的把回到平靜變成追求的目標，沒有達到目標時會很容易對自己產生更多批判。我們都會想要達到心目中理想的樣子，但是我覺得不需要嚴格的規定自己，反而應該要接受生活就是有進有退。內在的平靜就是接納自己當下的狀態。
My definition of an ideal state is simply returning to inner calm. When we turn “being calm” into something we chase, it becomes easy to judge ourselves whenever we fall short. We all want to become the version of ourselves we imagine, but I don’t think we need to impose strict rules on who we should be. Life comes with its own rise and fall. Inner calm comes from accepting ourselves exactly as we are in the present moment.
“I believe that when someone has a grounded sense of self, they can stay centered while still interacting gracefully with the world around them.”
你在意外在嗎？怎麼拿捏「呈現自己」與「取悅他人」之間的界線？
How do you differentiate between expressing yourself and performing for approval?
「取悅他人」乍聽之下好像是一件偏負面的事情，但其實人是社會性的動物，人與人之間的社交本質上就是一種表演的行為。想要取悅互動的對象，可以解釋為想要對外界呈現一個自己比較好的狀態。所以我會想要反問自己：我呈現的樣貌是我自己也認可的嗎？我認為一個人如果對自己有深刻的了解，有一個核心的自我概念，在社交時就還是可以處在自己的中軸並同時與外界有好的互動。
“People-pleasing” sounds negative at first, but the truth is, we’re social beings. Interaction itself is a kind of performance, a way of presenting a version of ourselves to the world. Wanting to please someone can simply mean wanting to show up as our better selves.
So the question I ask myself is: Is the version I’m showing the one that I truly stand behind? I believe that when someone has a grounded sense of self and a clear understanding of who they are, they can stay centered while still interacting gracefully with the world around them.
