Not Quite Square The Same Colour As The Background

Trying my best to make an artistic point. Not only is this a beautifully minimalist image, but it’s deliberately designed to lose its context over time; as the dynasties change, it’ll no longer be the same colour as the background, and eventually, Imgur will delete it.

Also, it’s saved as a JPEG, not a PNG, in case there’s unintentional art in the compression artifacts (if there are any in such a simple image). And, as the title says, it isn’t quite square.

And, of course, the irony of BlogNomic drawing a border around it.

I just don’t ‘get’ it.

arrow as the compression artifacts (which certainly are present) are a most exhilarating component of a supremely minimalist peace.
