It's a study of how certain colors are placed in a certain abstract way and how they immediately affect another person. The same goes for a symbol. How certain symbols affect one another and how they are presented is also important.
Interesting. I wouldn't take the swastica if you are just making one, it would have a shock effect and I don't think your message would come across at all. It does have the most intense reaction but I think you'd have too hard a time explaining your actual message without having biased the viewer to your work.

How did the actual cow organs fit in then?
