Certainly, we are all aware of cultural differences around the world , such as social norms, family structures, religions, cuisines, and everyday normalities.
Yang Liu, a young artist from Beijing, China, currently living in Germany, illustrates the cultural and social differences between the Eastern and Western worlds in her project "East Meets West". The humorous and entertaining illustrations convey a powerful message about the cultural differences she has personally experienced.
If you wonder how Yang Liu gathers her information, such as whether she uses interviews, research, or theory, her answer is: "The fact is that each illustration is my personal experience over the past 13-17 years, and this work is done as a document of my own life."
As an artist who grew up in many cultures, she doesn't feel like she belongs to any of them: "I feel like I belong to everyone I've been to."
Although it is just a personal opinion, Yang Liu's observations have received the agreement of many netizens. With the East on the right and the West on the left, let's guess what the artist means in the following pictures:
