Spoken melodies are transcribed into drawings. It starts with a "good morning" to your roommate down the hall. A small nod and a soft smile signal "go ahead" to let an old lady step off the bus first. The soft mumble of "sorrys" accompanies you as you squeeze through the lingering individuals at the bus doors. These exchanges of messages and understanding form the foundation of our everyday human-to-human conversations. However, sometimes these messages can be lost in translation. What causes this loss, and how does it affect our behavioral responses? These are the questions that shape the framework of Understood.

Understood is an exploration of the visual and physical disparities or conformities in individuals' responses and tendencies when given instructions. It is conducted under two contrasting conditions: a comforting and corresponding clinical atmosphere. The subsequent Coraline Experiment invites individuals to ‘step into a new world’ with a simple slide of a curtain, where the above observations and assessments will take place.
