Exhibition Statement
As a Chinese American artist, I have always been fascinated by the richness and universality of the I-Ching, more commonly known as the “Book of Changes”. The I-Ching is an ancient Chinese text of divination, historically used by scholars, emperors, and laymen to foresee the future. It consists of 64 hexagrams, each with a different meaning and interpretation. Each hexagram is formed from two trigrams consisting of three broken or unbroken lines. Broken lines are “yin” and solid lines are “yang”, and there are a total of eight possible trigrams: Qian (Heaven, 乾, ☰), Dui (Lake, 兌, ☱), Li (Fire, 離, ☲), Zhen (Thunder, 震, ☳), Xun (Wind, 巽, ☴), Kan (Water, 坎, ☵), Gen (Mountain, 艮, ☶), and Kun (Earth, 坤, ☷).
