Editorial Cartoon
A globe depicted as an empty plate, cracked down the middle like parched earth, with a knife and fork placed formally on either side as if at a fine dining table setting. The contrast between the elegant table setting and the barren, cracked plate communicates the obscenity of global hunger amid a world that has the resources to address it — civilization's formalities arranged around emptiness.
+How this was made
This story has the strongest universal visual metaphor potential and broadest international relevance — hunger is immediately understood everywhere. The staggering statistic of 266 million people and the doubling of crisis levels offers a powerful satirical contrast with global inaction. It avoids the pitfalls of depicting specific political figures or national controversies.
