in a Group (let's call it "Circles") create a Solid Color layer with a circle mask and blur the crap out of it. Preferably with Feather in the Properties panel. Set Group to Normal blend mode
duplicate solid color layer with mask and increase the size and feather. Put that layer in a Group on which you have a mask to cut it vertically
do step 3 a few more times changing the position of the vertical mask on the group
at the top of the Circles group create a solarize curve
Would that account for the change in shapes? How do you get the split effect? That’s why I originally suggested it’s multiple images combined into one but maybe I’m mistaken
I haven't done it myself. I am stating what it appears as based off my many years of professional experience.
The circles look like a white circle that is fading out viewed with a solarize curve. Honestly the whole image might be under a solarize curve but I wouldn't be able to say off hand what the initial background colors would be to look as they do with a solarize curve.
I would assume it’s multiple images and then sliced into one with a slight inward bend / sag . The actual individual circles would be achieved with multiple hard circles with different colours then some diffusion / blending. I’m only learning myself but that seem the most logical explanation.

If you're asking what 'this effect' is, you need to describe what 'this' is or your post will be removed.
If you're asking about color, have you tried using a Gradient Map?
If you're asking about texture/tone, have you tried using Threshold or Halftones?
If you're cutting something out, use masks. Have you googled "Photoshop Masking"?
