Soha is a data visualisation designer that focuses on humanising data through data art.
There is something about data when it comes to real life events and figuring out a way to visualise it in a way that can tell a powerful story and provoke emotion that she is passionate about, especially figuring out how to do provoke an emotional reaction from the audience.
The Missing Migrants Project tracks people who died or went missing during migration toward international destinations. Each spiral represents a migration route, and each mark along it corresponds to an individual incident.
We as human being are visual creatures and showing a spreadsheet of number does not tell a story that can tug at people's empathy level. Instead the visual representation of that story does a better job.
A recurring thread in Soha’s work is her commitment to topics that deeply matter. She chooses subjects rooted in human loss, displacement, and injustice, using data not to abstract these realities but to confront them directly.
Her projects do not shy away from difficult narratives; instead, they give visibility to lives that are often reduced to statistics.
