I think these two illustrations are great examples of visual concepts because they are able to tell a story and evoke emotions from the viewers. "Swallowed by the Sea" by Tomer Hanuka creates an atmosphere of danger by surrounding the mother and baby with the water, and making them very small compared to the wave. The way they are placed at the bottom also makes them seem more vulnerable while the wave is towering above them. Additionally, how the mother positioned looking upward and holding her baby tightly gives a sense of worry.
"Finding the Best Provider" by Marcos Chin also creates an effective environment for the message being told. The setting is very busy yet unified by the repetition of elements. The person centered in the middle has various hands that are ceaselessly making food for the people that are sitting on his back and constantly consuming it. This creates a sense of entrapment and mistreatment.
