Design Statement: I selected this visualization to put the toxicity of the politics of hate into a numerical representation.
This image represents toxicity by putting visually the statistical proof of a problem taking place in California. A state that had once been in a decline of hate to make such a shift into an uptick of hate crimes is a phenomenon that needs definitive research.
