The design approach emphasizes storytelling, connection, cultural respect, and urgency. I used engaging earth tones and flowing shapes to symbolize the cleansing and life-giving element of water, while integrating bold type for key statistics to ensure accessibility.

My goal was to create a piece that gives recognition to the cascading impacts from the past on communities today and shows benefits to giving land back to natives that could persuade finance-focused skeptics.
