Democracy in decline? Democracy is actually working just fine (progressives just don't like it).
A series of illustrations for an article exploring the workings of representative democracy and the relationship between citizens, politicians and those in power.
Inspired by medieval tapestries such as the Bayeux Tapestry, the illustrations depict the democratic process as a visual narrative, showing who gets a seat at the table and whose voices are represented in the decisions being made.
