Research Direction + Visual Design
Desert Chronicles Vol. 1
The Desert Chronicles is a comprehensive research project and visual narrative that traces the edges of desertification around the globe. It is also an exploration of alternative narratives for dry-land ecosystems. It was designed as a dialogue between the dry lands and the desert in the making.
Each chapter explores a different region undergoing desertification
And the different actions we can take to help reverse the spread
I chose bold, unconventional, and emotive approaches to connect readers to an urgent global phenomena
A storytelling system
To support the call for action embedded in this work, I developed concepts for new media and immersive exhibition applications that could engage policymakers, academics, and land owners in the conversation.
