  • What is a Parade if not moving and yet Bak's parade group is Immovable.
    Is it intended as a Victory Parade?
    Or a remnants line up?
    The disheveled chess pieces all back from the game of war are aligned for their Parade.

    The banners of surrender or celebration add a visual movement to the gathering.
    The color is very inviting.

    We can even hear the band playing music. Or can we?
