Description

Cities are expanding, glaciers are melting, biodiversity is shifting, and the global population continues to grow. These changes are visible, measurable, and undeniable. Yet behind these large-scale transformations lie personal stories of loss, resilience, adaptation, and hope that often remain unseen. We measure change in numbers. But we’ve forgotten the people behind them.

This project explores how design can translate complex transformations into accessible visual narratives. It examines twelve different forms of change, one for each month of the year, asking two questions: what do the facts show? And how do people actually experience this? For each topic, a book presents measurable facts through information design, while a website shares personal stories. Together, they form a conceptual system that holds both dimensions in tension. Like black and white. Like data and feeling. Change is both.
