π(bff) is a set of coins for the i-ching oracular book. this ancient Chinese text acts as a sort of synchronicity generator — with profound implications about the interconnectedness of the universe & the nature of change.
The use of these coins in conjunction with the I-Ching transforms them into conduits for exploring synchronicity—a concept introduced by Carl Jung that suggests meaningful coincidences arise from underlying patterns in reality. For Jung, the I-Ching is like an undiscovered facet of nature, waiting to be revealed.
Titled "π (Best Friend Forever)", this work draws a parallel between the infinite nature of Pi—an irrational number representing endless possibilities—and the timeless wisdom offered by the I-Ching. Just as Pi continues infinitely without repetition, The title suggests a perpetual companionship with these guiding principles, akin to having a best friend who offers unwavering support and insight.
Engaging with Π allows users to participate in an ancient ritual that connects them to millennia-old traditions while inviting personal introspection and growth. In essence, Π invites us to see beyond surface appearances and recognize how our actions resonate within a larger cosmic framework. As we cast these coins and consult the oracle, we become attuned to subtle shifts in our environment and inner selves—gaining clarity on our paths forward.
This work underscores that change is not something external imposed upon us but an intrinsic aspect of existence itself. By embracing this fluidity through Π, we align ourselves with natural rhythms and cycles—finding balance amidst uncertainty. Ultimately, these coins serve as reminders that we are part of an interconnected whole where every moment holds potential for insight and transformation.
