The Body's Tale
of Vengeance & Mercy

Keywords includes the essential collection of writings and documents that lay the foundation for the development of the project The Body's Tale of Vengeance and Mercy (BOTAMEVE). Below, you’ll find the original structure of BOTAMEVE, with the writings featured in Keywords forming an integral part of its introduction, creative background, and archival records:

The project's background is shaped by the author's key experiences between 2023 and 2024: 1) actively engaging with Taiwan's #MeToo movement, 2) navigating the aftermath of surviving an abusive relationship, and 3) managing the challenges of a diagnosed chronic illness. These transformative events inspired the creation of the BOTAMEVE curriculum and glossary, fostering reflections on truth, resilience, and healing. Their journey has also been enriched by a wide range of books, YouTube content, and podcasts on topics such as narcissistic relationships, manipulation tactics, codependency, and PTSD. Many of these resources are shared in this publication, offering context to the project's foundation and evolution.
