A modular objects are always
interesting. And how this series of small things brought together
creates a definitely new form are always surprising.
We create our icon art with a small block objects called pixels,
with a minimal size of just 16x16 pixel wide.
A small media who can brought a big messages.

Icon (art),
a painted image of a religious figure or event, especially a painted
panel that is characteristic of the Eastern Christian church. The
term icon is derived from the Greek eikenai, ”to resemble,”
and refers to an image believed to be sacred in itself that can aid
in contacting the represented figure.
__________________________________________________
Pixel, in computer science, short for picture element;
sometimes called a pel. One spot in a rectilinear grid of thousands
of such spots that are individually “painted” to form
an image produced on the screen by a computer or on paper by a printer.
Just as a bit is the smallest unit of information a computer can process,
a pixel is the smallest element that display or print hardware and
software can manipulate in creating letters, numbers, or graphics.

An image can also be represented
in more than two colors—for example, in a range of grays.
If a pixel has only two color values (typically black and white),
it can be encoded by 1 bit of information. If more than 2 bits are
used to represent a pixel, a larger range of colors or shades of gray
can be represented: 2 bits for four colors or shades of gray, 4 bits
for sixteen colors, and so on. Typically, an image of two colors is
called a bit map, and an image of more than two colors is called a
pixel map.
