    A Guilty Pleasure
    My project, A Guilty Pleasure, aims to visually represent the ways the monoculture cocoa industry is driving deforestation in Africa’s Ivory Coast. By drawing people’s attention to this issue, my thesis project reveals the bittersweet price we’ve paid for each pound of chocolate. Through bridges built between datasets, we can more closely observe the cocoa industry’s conflicting role in tropical deforestation and its impact on local suppliers.
