This work combines the Monument series with the Mondrianification series.

Politicians have too often produced anti-artistic megalithic monuments, starting already in Antiquity. Tottering dictatorships lead to ultra-ugly oversized edifices meant to convince the masses that all is well and the powers that be are just. (Monument series)

To see Him everywhere. Mondriaan's legacy is His lasting influence on our perception of primality, linear interaction and rectangularity. (Mondrianification series)

Again the monument is freely available for any country willing to build it. A close-up of the Red Russian Bear:
