Cities are growing, glaciers are melting, biodiversity is changing and the population is growing. These changes are visible, measurable and undeniable. Yet behind these macro-level processes lie personal stories of loss, resilience, adaptation and hope that often go unnoticed.

This project explores how design can serve as a tool to translate complex changes into accessible and meaningful visual narratives. It addresses twelve different forms of change. For each theme, measurable facts are visualised in a book through infographics, whilst the website showcases personal stories of how people experience these changes. By combining data and storytelling, the duality of change is highlighted: its measurable impacts and its emotional resonance. Like black and white, change is both dark and light, constant and fleeting, exciting and overwhelming – defined by contrasts.
