Crybaby
Sophie Tsang
In a world where sensitivity is increasingly recognized as a fundamental aspect of communication, we explore how shifting attitudes and values shape the ways in which individuals and communities navigate emotions, empathy, and interpersonal connections. This project seeks to express the visual representation of emotions that arise from miscommunication.
Crybaby is a thought-provoking narrative that delves into the intricate dynamics of communication across different generations and the evolving concept of sensitivity in today's society. Through a series of interconnected stories, we explore the narrative sequence of miscommunication and its profound impact on relationships, both on a personal and communal level.
Progress is not a linear journey, but rather a constant ebb and flow of dialogue, reflection, and understanding. It's about the frustration of wanting to express oneself fully, yet knowing when silence speaks louder than words. The narrative highlights the importance of learning to agree to disagree and acknowledges that change and growth are gradual processes, often requiring patience and perseverance.
While the initial intention was to conclude the narrative on a happier note, it became evident that such an ending would not accurately reflect the complexities of human experiences. Communication is undoubtedly difficult, and progress is rarely straightforward. However, the project emphasizes the significance of making an effort—of listening, understanding, and remaining open-minded.
A heartfelt thank you to all who contributed, they became an essential part of the narrative.
