Water Rights

Dani Medellín

Water for the rich, leftover for the poor

This illustration is kind of personal because is what I’m seeing (and been through) every day for the last months.
I would never have imagined that collecting water for every little thing could be that stressful and tiresome. Or that water could be that expensive ordifficult to find.
I believe that the illustration is self-explanatory. Classism decides how and who gets water and who doesn’t.

Color

Double split complementary. Blue sky, Green, purple, red and sand.

Composition

Curved line for the people waiting for the water, that ends with the rich ones. One point of the rule of thirds for the bucket and water tap.

Value

The color value for the people blends with the floor. The major contrastis for the water at the bottom.

This year my city has trouble with the lack of water. I wanted to represent it. Statistic says that 1 of 4 people have drinking water. I don't doubt it.
