“Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless, like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle.
— Bruce Lee.
“清空你的思緒,靈活,無形,像水一樣。你將水倒入杯子, 它就變成杯子的形狀;你將水倒入瓶子, 它就變成瓶子的形狀;你將水倒入茶壺, 它就變成茶壺的形狀。水可以流動,也可以撞擊。像水一樣吧, 我的朋友。 ”——李小龍

「Be Water Journal 水象」創立於2017年的廣州。水象聚集了一群資深媒體人、創意人,以小體量、精工細作的工作方式,創造優質的媒體內容:以紙質為核心,數字內容和線下活動為輔。目前,包含雜誌書《Be Water Journal水象》、播客電臺「BeWater Radio」、水象播客zines、「Be Water Friends聚會」四個部分。
水象以「人」為連接點,關註來自全球的「文化創造者」——他們踏實地進行創作與生活,在實踐個人理想的同時,積極地對周遭的環境與生態、當下的社會議題,乃至族群文化、地域文化等,進行多樣的回應與反思。水象通過集合並展示全球創意人的思想、作品、生活狀態,來促進不同地域的人們進行思維的交流、碰撞、合作,共同探索東西方傳統及文化,如何在當代全球化語境之下,找到融合的路徑,創造可持續的未來。
至今,水象出版了四期雜誌書。2018年1月,創刊號「回應當下」,探討都市化、當代與傳統等議題;2019年5月,第2期「移形換影」,探討人和科技的關係;2021年4月,第3期「自然而然」,關注當代人和自然的關係。2022年11月,第4期以「自然而然 续」為題,繼續探討生態與文化的議題。2025年,水象推出了一系列播客zines。
