Quintillions of Life - CC1 Sculpture

~ Quintillions of Life ~ (A marriage of art and mathematics series) . "A Rubik’s cube has 43 quintillion permutations or arrangements of its constituent cubes. This series of cube arts by Jenny Hee metaphorically capture the infinitely many possibilities and challenges one can take in the journey of life. After all, a quintillion is the number 1 followed by 18 zeros, and a very long human life consists of 3 billion seconds, or the number 3 followed by only 9 zeros. Jenny’s cubes aptly interpret a typical life journey as a very small subset in a large universe of choices, actions, experiences, consequences, and indeed happiness, sadness, successes, failures, trepidations, triumphs, and more. The colors, textures and symbols of the facades express, both overtly and subtly, the sum total of life experiences. In particular, symbols such as cola, H2O, circles, dice, commercial brands, strips, to name a few, are imbued with meanings that a viewer can resonate with. Some facades are intentionally left empty, perhaps to evoke the feeling of less is more, or emptiness is fulfillment? Indeed, each facade is a statement of the choice one has made, and hints at a myriad of other choices that can be made with the twists and turns of Jenny’s cubes. What would be the consequences of these other choices? One cannot help but wonder if life is a puzzle on Jenny’s cubes. I am totally inspired by the imaginative creation of this series. It marries mathematics with art seamlessly. It provokes analytical thinking and sentimentalizes it with artistic beauty. It is indeed a sweet dream series." ~ By Dr MS Wu, art collector in Singapore ~
