A visual experiment using the principles of information design and borrowing from the aesthetic of navigational charts, Tidal explores the coast of Tybee Island, GA. Depicting an area where many drownings and rescues occur, the numbers—traditionally representing depth in navigational charts—correspond with statistically relevant information (drownings, yearly rescues, height of tides, etc). By mixing the photographic narrative with statistics, a multilayered complexity forces viewers to fully engage to understand the region’s dangers.
