Azadi-Azadi (Freedom to Freedom)

These maps offer a visual and symbolic comparison between 37 squares with the name Azadi (meaning freedom)across Iran and the iconic same-name square in Tehran.”

The further a place is from the Center, the more symbols of freedom it might have (flags, statues, slogans) to compensate for the lack of *actual* freedom. The symbol becomes a substitute for the object.

Freedom—Freedom
Freedom has dimensions. It possesses magnitude, is scalable, and is therefore distributable within the flow of power. It is an abstract concept with a high capacity for symbolization and reification. This reification renders it spatial; consequently, the share of each location is proportional to its distance from the apex or center—the point where freedom is articulated and defined as a spatialized, distributable object.
