'Quark' is a term in quantum physics used to represent a type of hypothetical subatomic particle. H-y-p-o-t-h-e-t-I-c-a-l, I love that.  Hypothetical because these particles zooming around below the level of the atom can not be viewed directly.  They can only be observed through their properties. ...Huh?  It reminds me of the quote: "Blessed are those that have not seen, and yet believe."  

In this sculpture there are 54 carved cars zooming around underneath a painting of 6 larger cars.
