East vs. West

This is a very interesting link my boyfriend found. Artist Yang Liu was born in China, but then grew up in Germany since the age of 14. Experiencing first hand the cultural difference between eastern ideals and western ideals, she created these minimalist images that accurately depict those differences. As growing up in a Chinese household in America (and now working in a mostly Chinese lab), I can verify that these images are for the most part true. The ones that I can really relate to are the boss, how they record memories, and animals. I really appreciate minimalist designs that depict something worthwhile like a message or just starts a conversation between people. Sometimes it's better to just get the message across without any extra distracting fluff.
