Alif: Mobility Pavilion Eyes
Alongside Al Khwarizmi and the 8:1 giants, I also produced a selection of other eyes for the Alif: Mobility Pavilion at the Dubai 2020 Expo.
I created 1:1 eyes for the Bedouin Girl, who is seen twice in the exhibit, and for the Pearl Diver.
The eyes were printed on the Stratasys J750.

This was my first time making 1:1 eyes - it was immensely satisfying getting all the details perfect in such small 3D prints.
As the pearl diver is depicted swimming in the ocean, we wanted his eyes to look a little redder than normal. I carefully layered additional veins into the eyes to give that extra depth he required.

The Bedouin sculptures opened and concluded the exhibition.
