The Empty Glass — Water-Access Data Visualization

The result

An elegant, single-purpose experience that turns hard data into an intuitive story — recognized for its design and featured on Awwwards.

The challenge

The Empty Glass had to translate a heavy, abstract dataset — the share of each country's population with access to safely managed drinking water — into something anyone can feel in seconds. That meant pairing a clean data pipeline with a single, memorable visual metaphor and motion that ties the numbers to the experience, all while staying fast and minimal.

How we built it

  1. 01

    Implemented the client-provided design faithfully

  2. 02

    Modeled and visualized water-access data per country with SVG/Canvas

  3. 03

    Added smooth, accessible motion to aid comprehension

  4. 04

    Kept it lightweight and fast as a focused single-page experience
