How can the inequality of leave in Italy be visualized?

Parental leave in Italy

This project aims to illustrate the inequality of maternity and paternity leave in Italy by visualizing the impact on a child's development focussing on the "traditional" family model. 

The poster displays the actual law in Italy as well as the real usage of allowed leave. A playful mobile - a typical decor or toy for children's rooms serves as metaphor visualizing the data as object. The branch serves as a scale that turns either to the father's side on the left or to the mother's side on the right. This depends on the amount of months that the parent can take symbolized through petals.

The petals of the flower representing the child also symbolize stronger growth towards the person who can spend more time with it.
