Inspired by real life events, Cindy Jiang's work is a poignant commentary on societal vulnerabilities many young women can experience. With honest storytelling and effective use in sound design, "Infatuation" prompts critical reflection on society's need for greater awareness and systemic change to ensure the safety of individuals in public spaces.
