Can data visualization reveal any disparities in the perception of safety and uncertainty between Hong Kong and the United Kingdom during the pandemic?
 

Counting Jabs Until I Return ‘Home’ investigates and explores how data visualisation can be used to uncover and illustrate disparities in how people in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom perceive safety and uncertainty amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

The work compares the two locations based on statistical data, with a particular focus on vaccination and mortality rates, to visually depict the emotional challenges faced during the pandemic. Thus, the project aims to elicit a collective response by capturing public sentiment and attitudes towards the enduring challenge of mortality, even as vaccination efforts persist.

 

This project is not intended to focus solely on Hong Kong and the United Kingdom; it also spans a wider range of countries that have similarly experienced uncertainty and fear amid the pandemic.This project aims to reflect my personal experiences of grief, fear and loss in both countries that I consider to be 'home’.​
