「玩具不該只有一種表情」
非主流芭比 Non-Mainstream Barbie
香港娃娃藝術家Ning Lau@ninglau_studio 在其手繪娃娃系列中,表現了她對芭比娃娃的不同演繹。
每一個人和手繪娃娃一樣也是獨一無二, Ning的娃娃把「美的定義」個人化,她認為美不美只是主觀而虛無的量度單位,以單一的「美的標準」去比較獨特存在的個體意義不大;接受、欣賞及擁抱自己的獨特性甚至不完美,Ning希望透過她的娃娃幫助別人建立Self-Love這重要的自我肯定價值觀。

"Toys Shouldn't Have Just One Face"
Doll artist Ning Lau expresses her different perspectives on the objectification and stereotyping of women by Barbie dolls in her hand-painted doll series. She incorporated characteristics such as rounded limbs and double chins into her designs. This not only reflects the real-world female form but also integrates what are often perceived as “imperfections” into these “cute” dolls.
