In geometry, two or more objects are said to be concentric when they share the same center. Concentric objects are often part of the broad category of whorled patterns.
Circles within circles are a powerful symbol that holds deep meaning across various cultures and disciplines. Its origins can be traced back to ancient times, where it was used to convey important concepts and ideas. In ancient civilizations, circles within circles symbolized the cyclical nature of life and the universe. It represented the eternal cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth.
Circles within circles transcend religious and cultural boundaries. They are a representation of the divine or the infinite. The concentric circles symbolize the layers of existence and consciousness, with the inner circle representing the individual self and the outer circle representing the universal consciousness or higher power.

Chambers utilizes Kazimir Malevich's cross ("Black Cross") as a placeholder for an art piece from his "Digital Suprematism-Geometric Abstraction" project (https://chambersarts.godaddysites.com/) to pay tribute to this Suprematist and pioneer in abstraction. Chambers also works with a color field (background) to manipulate the color and form of the "hybrid" piece. Malevich's "Black Cross" was first displayed in the "Last Futurist Exhibition 0.10" in 1915. It stands as a pioneering work of minimalist abstraction. Its radical simplicity presented a stark departure from artistic norms. Today, it is viewed as a masterpiece that shaped the trajectory of modern art.

He likes this idea since the circle with a horizontal line through it is an enigmatic symbol, often found in ancient texts and artwork. It carries a profound meaning that transcends words. It is a symbol that speaks to the interconnectedness of all things, the balance between opposing forces, and the unity of spirit and matter.
The symbol of a circle with a horizontal line through it carries profound spiritual and philosophical meanings, particularly in the realms of alchemy and ancient philosophy. It embodies a deep understanding of the universe, the nature of existence, and the human quest for harmony between the material and the spiritual.

The term, "Suprematism" refers to an abstract art based on "the supremacy of pure artistic feeling" rather than visual depiction of objects. In the context of "Digital Suprematism", it refers to the application of these Suprematist principles in the digital art realm. Geometric shapes are used … often in very basic colors or black and white … to create non-objective, non-representational art in a digital medium. A pixel, short for "picture element," is the smallest unit of a digital image or display that can be controlled. Pixels are often represented as tiny squares, and each one is coded with a specific color. "Pixelscapes" is a term often used to describe a type of digital art that uses pixels.
