I really like this for two reasons.
First of all, it is completely different from all your works. It is a change from the traditional mandala, all round. This one is more modern, more unconventional, and a little Sci Fi.
Which brings me to the second reason. You manged to bring depth to something which is usually 2-dimensional. You created the illusion of a third dimension.
It also reminds me of Escher's works. One has the impression that the yellow and orange blocks are directed towards the viewer, and then you see the small blocks on the sides which have another orientation. And then you wonder where is the illusion and what is real.
Quite wonderful.

I only gave 4 stars for the technique because of the inner mandala, the blue one. Somehow it seems less clear and less 3-dimensional than the rest.
