There are many times when our social perception and observation have failed us. We tend to take mental shortcuts when trying to make sense of our social world. As a result, we are prone to make errors in our mental processing. Social perception refers to identifying and utilizing social cues to make judgments about social roles, rules, context, or the characteristics of others. This domain also includes social knowledge, which refers to one’s knowledge of social roles, norms, and surrounding social situations and interactions.

People learn about others’ feelings and emotions by picking up information they gather from physical appearance, verbal, and nonverbal communication. Facial expressions, tone of voice, hand gestures, or movement are a few examples of ways people communicate without words. Observations serve as the raw data of social perception and are an interplay of three sources, persons, situations, and behaviour. These sources are used as evidence in supporting a person’s impression or inference about others.

The Printed Artwork is a powerful reminder of the ways in which our social perception can be shaped by the world around us. It is also a call to action, urging us to be more aware of the social traps that we face and to challenge the messages that we are constantly bombarded with.
