Ciara Liu
Collection
How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hilter? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn’t true? Through layers of human reactions and interactions, it’s difficult to truly understand an individual. The urge to understand and be understood has been the subject of scholarly discussions. Especially relevant now, due to Covid-19, the mask mandate has made reading others even harder… In my thesis, I want to explore through people’s figure language, facial expressions and cultural differences as well as media display, the ways humans naturally interact and how misunderstandings can be formed.
