Some topics need to be communicated with care

Designer Daan Wubben created a new language. A language with which we can make the abstract numbers about victims of violence in the media tangible again.

Every day, we are confronted with statistics that represent shocking emotional events. Yet, these numbers are sterile. What does ‘339 drowned refugees in the Mediterranean Sea’ mean? How can we understand the impact of that number?
