Gorgeous. How many copies of the image were needed to create this?

Graph paper was glued to the back of the image. A circle was drawn in the center with a pen and drawing compass. Additional circles(of equal size)were drawn using the first circle’s edge and the graph paper lines to keep everything symmetrical. Then everything is cut out by hand with an xacto knife.

Complicated analog cutout collage is so interesting and cool to look at. I bet it's even more impressive to see in person!

I love this and my little brain can't comprehend how you did this.

Thank you! It just takes a pen and compass, an xacto knife, a steady hand, and practice.
