EMPATHY
Could you draw empathy?
Could you draw empathy? text by Alessandra Gambino illustrations by Nicola Ferrarese
When explaining a concept, we always rely heavily on words. On occasion we add gestures to those words, giving a physical form to the empathy we are trying to convey with our concept. The power of an image can also provide a source of inspiration: its impact is sharp, immediate. It can be another language to use to communicate with people whose mental processes work better with media like icons, graphic elements, photographs and illustrations. This gallery marks the start of a new editorial feature in the Bollettino, one
that will accompany us on our journey towards new ways to communicate our empathy. The narrative voice here speaks in a different form and seeks out new conversational partners to share the responsibility and pride of telling a story to an ever-expanding audience. The images in this collection provide a new perspective on the topics covered in our cover story through the conceptual and narrative vision of Nicola Ferrarese. The gentle humour of his illustrations as seen on our cover page invites us to dive into the articles in the pages of this magazine.
