삼  (pronounced sam) means "three" in Korean. In ancient Korea, the number three symbolized control over ground and heaven. The number "one" represented the Sky and "two" represented the Earth. Therefore, adding the two numbers produced "three". This series takes notice of this ancient symbolism by incorporating elements in compilations of threes.
