Math is art.
The white rods are placed like the diagonals of an icosahedron.
However, they are longer than the actual diagonals and are
therefore bent into arcs. That is why they do not connect with
each other. The edges of the icosahedron are formed by the green
thread connecting the twelve ends of the rods to each neighbouring
end. The bent rods are positioned in such a way that the midpoints
of the arcs are equidistant from each neighbouring midpoint. The
orange thread, which connects the midpoints of the arcs, forms the
edges of the octahedron. The rods can be arranged in five
different ways, which are rotations of each other.
