What does this visualization (including caption) say about toxics?

It talks about the management of toxics and the ways in which they can be peripheralised and also let into the commons. Perhaps mentioning the river as part of the commons would be a good idea here?

Can you suggest ways to enrich this image to extend its ethnographic import?

Could it be better quality? Could you make it clear it's google earth - label the buildings? Perhaps show the photo as being more connected to the map somehow?

What kind of image is this? Is it a found image or created by the ethnographer (or a combination)? What is notable about its composition | scale of attention | aesthetic?

Google Earth and ethnographer's own.

The image on the right is fairly low quality. Are there better versions? The images themselves don't complement each other too well side by side, but as I say in another comment, I like the style of the image on the left as a hidden camera 'got you' image, which is especially interesting as it came from google maps.

Can you suggest ways to elaborate the caption of this visualization to extend its ethnographic message?

Caption is great, perhaps more mention of the communities affected (if appropriate)?

How does this visualization (including caption) advance ethnographic insight? What message | argument | sentiment | etc. does this visualization communicate or represent?

The image and text show how toxics are pushed to the peripheries of urban spaces, and in this case how they are tied to a colonial legacy. The image on the left is almost like a reveal shot on a hidden camera show, revealing how the plant is releasing waste into the river.
