For my physics project sculpture, I chose make a small pyramid, with a drawn on eye in the center on all four sides of my pyramid, and at the center of the eye, a single red LED light. This sculpture is supposed to resemble the All Seeing Eye, which is an eye that is usually depicted in a triangle/pyramid. The All Seeing Eye most notably, is on the back of the dollar bill.

I decided to choose this design for my sculpture because triangles are my favorite shape, and I also had prior knowledge about triangles/pyramids; they evenly distribute force (though that fact did not apply to my project, I still decided to make a pyramid). I also chose to make the sculpture the way it is because the All Seeing Eye is constantly linked to a secret society that once did exist (but doesn’t anymore) called the Illuminati. Some people still think that the Illuminati are around today, and that many famous people and powerful world leaders are in it. I thought it would be amusing to me and possibly others if I made fun of this part of our mainstream pop culture. The All Seeing Eye can also be linked to another secret society called the Freemasons. The Freemasons are an actual existing organization that (it is confirmed) many of the worlds most powerful people throughout history were apart of (you didn't have to be famous to become a Freemason, though). I have had family who are Freemasons and I decided to make my sculpture the way it is based on my interest on Freemasons.
