The city of Mandalay derived its name from Mandalay Hill, well known for its immersive views lined with pagodas and monasteries. In Mandalay Hill & Moat, the artist divides the composition into several sections and colors, featuring elements such as the sky, earth, architecture, and sea. He created an abstraction of shapes with objects of varied sizes to evoke depth, with the use of rhythmic lines to denote the underwater scene.
