When researching such designs I found many references to 'mandalas' in terms of symmetry and shapes. The word mandala comes from Sanskrit meaning "circle", but while forming a circular shape, mandalas are also full of triangles and squares amongst other shapes. Mandalas offer balancing visual elements, symbolizing unity and harmony.
I wanted to start this project by creating my own series of mandala designs, combining mandala designs that interest me, then forming a final series of larger scale designs using aspects of all the templates.
