Drawn to the teachings of the Zen philosopher Sengai Gibon, James Rosenquist believed that the world could be entirely represented with three simple shapes: the circle, the triangle, and the square. As Zen teaching goes, the circle represents infinite and the basis of life itself, the triangle symbolizes the beginning of all forms, and the square—the triangle doubled—manifests the multiplicity of forms that comprise the entire multidimensional universe.
