By utilising Processing, I designed a GIF illustrating New Zealand’s widening wealth gap using simple geometric shapes. Inspired by the statistic that the wealthiest 10% own nearly 60% of all assets, the animation features a shrinking rectangle, an expanding circle, and radiating lines to symbolise economic disparity. As the GIF progresses, the growing circle (representing the wealthy 10%) gradually consumes the shrinking rectangle (the remaining 40% of assets), with lines depicting the slow erosion of wealth. In the final stage, the circle engulfs the canvas, representing a future where inequality dominates.
