Name of the group:  裂 liè

Why we chose this name: This Chinese word has no translation in English. It means to rip, break, tear, deconsruct and be reborn.  In the context of nature and culture.  It is a very old word 2300 years old. Like tearing an element – there will be 2 after. The Chinese sign is constructed in two parts. The upper one means “break” the lower tissue.
As we started with ‘detail’ and ‘faith’ we continued with this verb, because it is a very detailled action. There is a deeper meaning in the sign an this represents the faith.
