Visualizing the Forgotten book
This interactive book humanizes Syrian refugee visualizations through empathy, individuality, and subjectivity, centering the story of one real refugee at a time rather than reducing the crisis to statistics.​
​
The book traces the history of the Syrian crisis since its ignition, covering the historical and political events behind it, alongside interactive visualizations following three different refugees' journeys.
By focusing on individual experience over data points, the book aims to be more impactful than any chart or graph could be. And while the Syrian crisis is what's specifically addressed here, the hope is that a reader's awareness deepens outward — into empathy for the global refugee crisis as a whole, not just this one story.
