Structural violence harms individuals’ health; however, this connection is not broadly recognized in society because the relationships which constitute structural violence are invisible. This lack of recognition is compounded by society viewing data as representative of an ultimate truth. My thesis, a website entitled The Side Unseen, shows how ethnographic data visualizations can highlight a more complete story surrounding structural violence in Philadelphia; it does so by layering data with residents' narratives to emphasize the absence inherent in data.
