Oculus Exiled: A Desk Automata

In a world saturated with clean, predictable desk objects,I want to offer something different— something alive. This animatronic eye automaton shifts and seems to watch, blurring the line between the mechanical and the organic. It’s an object that feels plucked from a subconscious landscape—a dream fragment frozen in motion.
A lone eye that sits on the desk, eerily lifelike, endlessly curious. looking, watching, observing, remembering. A presence that does not belong, it searches for its home long gone. Created for aficionados of the surreal and macabre.
