The Eye by Lightly
The Eye is a guide that walks us through life, from person to place.
The Eye is Lightly's modern love letter to material folklore. Material folklore marks an elevation of one's treasured objects, transforming things you see and hold into pieces of personal iconography.
For Lightly founder Cindy Lee, drawing faces is a "love language". A new meaning was understood in watching her son do the same: a kinship outlined among his first marks on paper of how he sees the world of human form. Until he was 4 or 5 years old, all his faces had only one beautiful Eye, the Ajna eye, which allows us to see and understand the inner and outer worlds.
This signifies a new direction for Lightly in limited edition objects; the Eye is hand-cast in aluminium and available in a small editions. Use it to view or hold garden gatherings; a sculpture for decoration.
Size: 380mm x 240mm height - 3 holes for dried foliage.
