Is our way of measuring economic success and growth in the form of GDP (Swedish: "BNP") destined to be over soon due to its non-sustainability and even climate change?
I had the pleasure to illustrate a fascinating article about this topic for Swedish VI magazine's October 2019 issue for which I decided to go highly illustrative and create a "GDP sand castle" threatened by big paper waves (as well as a small illustration of the GDP letters melting away).
One of my favourite projects this year! Thank you Hanna - this was great fun!
