graph

Description

A graph is an intricate trick that makes raw data look sophisticated by arranging it in pretty lines and bars. In reality, the true star is the numerical manipulation hidden behind those shapes. Once hailed as the epitome of reliability, it soon becomes a silent weapon that stifles questioning. While pretending to illuminate truth, it often spawns new layers of doubt in its visual labyrinth.
