Since the accession of Croatia in 2013, the European Union has 28 member states. The flags of these countries are ordered here in such a way that the boundaries are fading: colors, surfaces and lines flow into each other and create abstract patterns.

 

From left to right and from top to bottom: Greece, Britain, the Netherlands, Hungary, Luxembourg, Austria, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Spain, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Sweden, Latvia, Slovakia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Belgium, Malta, France, Italy, Ireland, Romania and Portugal.

 

To enhance the level of abstraction several transformations can be applied. Three examples are shown below. For more transformations, visit my online galery.
