This represents the geometric series that converges to the number 2/3. The larger rectangle framing the image represents area of unit 1. The construction lines are a technique I learned from perspective drawing in dividing a rectangle into n pieces, and are kept in the image to demonstrate the infinite sum, although only a partial sum is represented. As the series starts as “1–1/2+1/4”, the rectangle was divided into two, and half subtracted with a fourth added, continuing through the sum. The negative white space what subtracted out of the sum in total, while the colored-in rectangles are what remain in the infinite sum. The colors used represent “two-thirds”, with two represented by the yellow, and three represented by pink.
