SQUARES

see this bloody cloth
this hard and shiny steel club--

The light colored rectangle fits about 200 times in the red colored square. That ratio is equivalent to, let’s say, three thousand soldiers killed for six hundred thousand dead civilians. If economical sanctions imposed on that same civilian population before the arrival of the soldiers have resulted in the death of half a million children, you can almost double the size of the red square. If the civilians belonged to a population ten times smaller than that of the soldiers, you can make the red square ten times bigger in order to better appreciate the relative impact of those deaths on the suffering nations. To get a better understanding of what that whole operation could be about, try making both the light colored rectangle and the red square oil-colored (although against a dark background you might lose sight of the picture). Or make them colorless like tears.
