Problem
Solution
As long as tap water looks clear, no one really thinks or talks about whether it is actually clean. In Moscow, around 40% of pipelines do not meet sanitary standards, and in some regions this number can reach 75%. At the same time, these pipes continue to be used every day, while the risks they carry remain largely ignored. Thus, the problem remains invisible, even though it directly affects people's health.
The first step toward solving a problem is admitting that it exists. That is why the project starts by bringing attention to it. The Journey of Water is a magazine that explains the issue in a simple and visual way, showing its causes, health risks, and ways to avoid them. The magazine does not frighten the viewer with disturbing images — it frightens with facts and numbers. The visual language makes the information clear for a child and not overwhelming for an adult.
