Mandala Number 8
LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT AMET CONSECTETUR
This geometric picture is based on the number 8. I play with the shape of 8 in several pictures - see the Infinite 8; and the Infinite Aleph. 8 represents the Infinite One that is beyond Space and Time. The High Priests in the Tabernacle and Temple would wear 8 vestments - 4 white line and 4 elaborately spun with gold thread. Numbers in Time is Music. Many traditional and modern songs are in 4/4 time. I like to play fiddle tunes on my violin, but I especially like playing them on my mandolin, an instrument that has 8 strings. It is tuned like a violin which has 4 strings but in mandolins, there are 2 strings tuned the same for each of those 4. Mandolins are also picked rather than bowed like violins.
In the center of this image an 8-pointed star (sometimes called Magen Avraham) can be seen in light blue. Magen Avrahams are composed of 2 interlocking squares rather that 2 interlocking triangles like the Magen David. It is embedded in an octagon which is surrounded by an 8-pointed star in yellow. The star is embedded in a circle which is surrounded by 8 overlapping circles that are the same size and the central circle.
