This project explores the fine line between body positivity and obesity — aiming to question where we draw the line between body acceptance having a positive effect on our mental health and obesity having a negative effect on our physical health. Beauty is subjective but obesity is based on health facts. We are now aware that obesity is the second leading cause of cancer, yet so many people are still obese. Provoking a response from the audience will draw focus to the importance of the subject matter encouraging a discussion.


Mae’r prosiect hwn yn archwilio’r llinell denau rhwng delwedd gadarnhaol o’r corff a gordewdra – gyda’r nod o gwestiynu sut rydym yn tynnu’r llinell rhwng y ffaith bod derbyn y corff yn cael effaith gadarnhaol ar ein hiechyd meddwl a’r ffaith bod gordewdra yn cael effaith negyddol ar ein hiechyd corfforol. Mae harddwch yn wrthrychol ond mae gordewdra yn seiliedig ar ffeithiau sy’n gysylltiedig ag iechyd. Gwyddom bellach mai gordewdra yw’r ail brif achos o ganser, ond eto mae cymaint o bobl dal yn ordew. Bydd ennyn ymateb gan y gynulleidfa yn helpu i ganolbwyntio ar bwysigrwydd y pwnc gan annog trafodaeth.
