To me, mandala means repeated a pie-shaped selection of an image and duplicating it until a circle is filled with the repeated shape, with all sides being symmetrical. To create the mandalas, I loaded the original photographs I took and used a pie shaped selection from the template to copy a segment of the image. I then pasted this selection into the template; I duplicated and flipped the layers accordingly until they were symmetrical and filled the template in the shape of a circle. I enjoyed how a selection of an image could be used to create something new that is almost always unrecognizable from the original photograph. My favorite image is the last one with the rings, because the texture from the wall makes the mandala appear as if it was drawn or painted. I struggled with finding selections from the photos I took that would look good in a mandala. If I had to do it over again, I would pay more attention to the photographs I am taking and try to envision the final product of the mandala it would make.
