I've finally finished my masterpiece. I hope you all will enjoy it.
Most of you would probably take a single glance at this, and think to yourselves "Wow, quite a joke. Much laugh". Without taking the time to ACTUALLY properly analyze what is in reality: History in the making. It is important to note that, yes, the most distinguishable thing about the image itself, at surface value, is a simple pitch-black 4 pixels, amidst an environment of white. But on the opposite spectrum of that, the bigger picture lies within the parallelism hidden right in plain sight. What is veiled as a simplistic design, is in reality a dissection, of the realities we know and accept today, as human beings. It is a satirical commentary on both, modern society, and past history, simultaneously showing off the brilliant concepts of an amalgamation of human philosophy, while providing us an eye-opening experience of spiritual weakness, which gives us the strength to keep moving past our problems. The ONLY other case I've seen of such a world-bending concept being taken on, was in the YouTube channel known as the
GAME GRUMPS, which can be viewed here (At your own risk, ofc.).
SO, prior to beginning this analysis, take the time to look back at, and APPRECIATE such a marvelous piece of art.
Part 1: Geometric Assignment.
This section will be going over the GEOMETRIC values within the two most prominent figures in the image: the small "Minor" square with a black pigment, and the large "Major" Square which is either 1) white, or 2)blank. Those two potential perceptions of the background within the picture, is a testimony to our own idealism, think to... "Is the glass half full? Or half-empty?". It is important to establish with you all that, within this section will be as implied within the title: Geometry, which I failed a semester of last year due to some bitch-asses who wouldn't let me cop-... okay okay, that aside... there will most likely be some flaws is whats being said. The geometric formula for the area of a square is as follows: W x H wherein W= Width, and H= Height. After careful extraction of these values by placing a 12-inch ruler onto my laptop's screen, it is obvious that yes, the black circle not only has the disadvantage in scale, but AREA as well...
or does it..? it ALWAYS comes down to the experiences in life of each individual, that defines what you see. But this is an exceptional case in that, EVERYONE, apart from expert-annalists, and the artist himself, forgets to take into account a singular notion: this image... is in reality, on a 3D plain of existence, and a remarkable illusion of a 2D one. The black square you see, is actually infinitely larger than the white frame, but smaller...

From a certain point of view.
This section will provide brief examples, as to how the image is a representation of human nature. Take into account the colors portrayed as the smaller shape "Black", this is potentially a portrayal of the discrimination African-Americans had to struggle with from "White" oppressors. On a broader subject, it can also be an inverse depiction of an entity, and its shadow, which implies a lurking darkness, within all of our hearts. The contrasting colors, in relation to the size of either, is a symbol that shows the ignorant, yet widely accepted point of view, that sees only "Good, and Bad", as this universes absolute governing factors. Taking all of this into account, as well as unspoken factors, its quite obvious that this IS INDEED the pinnacle of Manezinho's art, a pure representation of every single parallel emotion, corporeal and ethereal , inferior and superior, entities within such a fast, complex, yet simple state of existence.
As one final note

The guy above me is a fucking loser.
A Friend of mine took it apon himself to make some edits to the awesome picture you made. Hope ya agree that the changes are good!
