The image is a collected one (advertisement) of a city combined a graph prepared to illustrate the racial demographics of a city. The scale of attention is broad, but I cannot help feeling that it is so broad the ties to toxicity become vague. Nonetheless, the composition does provide an opportunity to think about how race, urban placemaking, and a liveability discourse are constructed. So, the comparative nature of the image is generative, so the composition works. Unfortunately, I had trouble finding any representational, compositional, aesthetic impetus that would produce reflection about toxicity and pollution.
