The title of the work is taken from the ancient Chinese written oracle, the I Ching. The arrangement of three horizontal unbroken lines is the first of eight trigrams that, when combined in pairs, form a set of 64 hexagrams that index the entire work. Both the trigram, and the hexagram formed when paired with itself, are called Ch’ien /the creative. It represents heaven. Its essence is primal power and energy, associated with the father; light-giving, strong, and of the spirit.The trigram represented by the arrangement of the rubber bands is Li. Li means “to depend or rest on something” and also “brightness” or “nature in its radiance”.
