World Bank briefs illustrations
Client: World Bank Group x Reyes Work
Illustration / Washington, USA, January 2022
As part of a series of six briefs and one report for the World Bank’s Poverty and Equity team, I created, in collaboration with Carlos Reyes and Reyes Work, the cover illustrations for publications examining inflation, poverty, inequality, employment and the socioeconomic impact of COVID-19 in Egypt. The illustrations translate these complex economic themes into clear visual metaphors, using geometric structures, human figures and contrasting levels to represent inequality, vulnerability, economic mobility and changing socioeconomic conditions.

The building blocks represent the interconnected economic factors that shape household welfare, with their different sizes, levels and positions reflecting unequal exposure to rising commodity prices and economic shocks.
