EYE ART- 

Eyes are the ultimate window to the soul, and eyeglasses are the frames that shape our vision. Together, they create a stunning bridge between anatomy and art. This design-focused journey explores how the human gaze and optical lenses inspire modern creativity.

"Forest of Eyes" is a vibrant, multimedia design installation created by British-Nigerian multidisciplinary artist Yinka Ilori for London Craft Week 2022. Featured as a standalone highlight on Frame Magazine, it completely reimagined the retail landscape by turning the storefront windows of The Conran Shop in Chelsea and Marylebone into an


The design seamlessly merges physical craftsmanship with consumer technology through several distinct layers:

* Wooden ocular boxes: Hand-constructed, multi-coloured frames shaped like human eyes serve as the structural anchor of the exhibit. [1]

* Integrated digital displays: The larger eye-shaped structures house premium televisions from exhibition partner LG to blend digital media with physical framing. [1]

* Infinite depth mechanics: The design utilizes mirrored floors alongside smaller, screenless wooden eye structures to mimic the dense, repeating layers of a forest. [1]

* Candy-coated escapism: Moving away from traditional, eerie forest palettes, Ilori applies a signature hyper-vibrant colour scheme featuring bubblegum pink, lime green, lemonade yellow, and bright orange. [1]

The piece serves as an excellent case study of how the biological form of the iris can be subverted into high-fashion retail display architecture.
