Concentric squares represent one of the oldest geometric principles in decorative art, appearing across cultures from Islamic tilework to Native American weaving and European quiltmaking. The nested-frame structure creates visual rhythm through repetition and symmetry, drawing the eye steadily inward toward a luminous center—a compositional strategy that conveys both stability and contemplative depth.
