Visual Communication – Sim Pei Yun

Project Description

We view, we perceive and we judge. Within mere seconds, assumptions and connections are made, not realising that our perceptions can be flawed and limited by our lack of awareness.

How we see plays a paramount factor in developing our identity and prejudice. Using concepts drawn from social and optical fields, Perception examines the complexity of Singapore’s social fabric as a “child of diaspora” through different degrees of interactions between immigrants and locals over a historical timespan. Perception does not aim to dictate what Singapore’s identity is but narrate the designer’s personal understanding of her nation through words and visual metaphors she associates with her encounters.
