Possible Design Portfolio Segment

Last March, after working on several personal projects with X - P o l l i n a t e Studio, I went to intern for Estudio Teddy Cruz, a local theoretical celebrity whose speculative work is published frequently and reaches architecture schools and publications globally. 

His Social Contracts tactics, the socio-economic and political groundwork for realizing architecture, is critical today more than ever, with the economic gap so drastically disparate. I'm a huge admirer or his design activism, and thus really want to include some of the info-graphics I worked on in the office in my portfolio. However, I'm just not certain that the story-boards read as well out of the context of his retrospect.

Those of you who are design savvy, please weigh in, I'd like to hear your opinion, on whether a diagram like the one below reads well enough to make it into a design portfolio. I've been toying with the idea of other info-graphics, but this one is critical to a local skate park project in San Diego. Thus far I've removed it, but I might add it back in, in some other capacity. Maybe play with scale, add text,or just feature an excerp. Thanks for the feedback!
