The project centers on the metaphorical concept of an "elephant in the room," aiming to elucidate the
existential crisis faced by large-bodied mammals.
This metaphor underscores how certain pressing
issues are often overlooked or ignored, mirroring the less apparent reality that larger animals are at a
heightened risk of extinction. Employing large animals
within the room as a visual motif, we integrate data
with graphic illustrations to effectively communicate
the overarching theme to our audience.
