Dense Caption

The image consists of four distinct square panels arranged in a 2x2 grid. Each panel features nested squares alternating between solid black and cyan colors, creating layered frames. The outermost border of each panel is cyan, followed by a thick black frame, then another cyan layer, and finally a small central black or cyan square. Pixelation affects the edges of all shapes, giving them a jagged appearance. The background surrounding the panels is uniformly cyan.
