The visualization captures the prolonged interactions between human and more-than-human entities and how they have transformed over the years. It also directly advances the gendered and indentity politics of toxicities, both spatially and temporally.
The caption is elaborate enough and perfectly balances the ethnographic visualization and theorization of the phenomena.
Assuming it is created by the ethnographer, it is landscape image from the field site. The silhoutte nature of the image creates a very powerful focus to the image and perfectly highlights the themes illustrated in the caption.
The landscape of petrochemical industries in the backdrop of blue spaces is faded, it almost escapes the sight of the viewer. It would help for the ethnographer to provide an edited version of the image with increased sharpness and curves to highlight industrial backdrop.
This visualization presents toxcities as gendered, paradoxical with narratives of powerful masculinity as well as vulnerabilties of men, and finally, attached emotional geographies (like nostalgia, leisure, etc.)
