The Poverty Line is a series by photographer Stefen Chow and economist Hui-Yi Lin that asks the simple question: What does poverty mean in different countries? By carefully researching each countrys economy, the photographer is able to translate that data cohesively, creating a visual representation of the edibles one could potentially fit into their daily food budget.Chow explains: We are not simply trying to compare poverty in different countries; we want to create a way to understand poverty within the context of a single country. By first calculating a per-person, per-day expenditure based on the country’s national poverty line, we produced a visual representation of everyday food items that would be accessible within that country for that amount of money. #OjoooShareEN
