Sitbox make fleshbag kingfeel. Meat machines paint sitbox slendourshape.
There is no circle in this image. And the colors are all blue.
And it’s actually a picture of a dog but your brain makes it looks like pink squares.

This would be an excellent design for a staircase. Caters for species of all leg lengths - just choose which bit you want to ascend. With a few more iterations it would also provide a ramp down the middle for bicycles and wheelbarrows. https://twitter.com/MissMastalio/status/1009099869854863365

Bruno Taut’s 1914 Glass Pavilion was what made me want to build this. An early use of architectural glass, it expressed “a longing for purity and crystalline exactness” and was to usher in a spiritual utopia. It was dismantled upon the outbreak of WW1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_Pavilion
