Commissioned by the Addison Arbor Foundation, Nic Noblique drew inspiration for the piece from the Addison Cotton Gin and salvaged pieces from the machine. The piece was named after a passage of a letter from Eli Whitney, inventor of the cotton gin, asking his father to keep "a profound secret" until he could secure a patent.
