Turning a static figure into an object that glows from within.

The 23-inch sculpture was built from a combination of resin and PETG, balancing fine detail against structural strength. The model was reworked to carry an internal LED housing with clean light diffusion, and the paint was applied in layers to recreate the translucency and depth of ice.

THE FINISHED PIECE

The result first: a 23-inch body that carries its light from the inside.

THE LIGHT COMES FROM INSIDE

The ice reads.
The bone glows.

Plan first,
then resin.

Body, wings and base were split into parts that fit the build volume. Each part was printed one at a time on a resin printer; the plate comes out wet and half-translucent on every run.

Once the supports
come off.

Each printed part was separated from its support structure, cleaned and mapped in assembly order. This stage decides how clean the finished surface can ever be.

What came off
the bench.

Modelling, printing, clean-up, assembly, paint and electronics all moved through the same bench in order. What was left at the end is not a static figure, but an object that changes the room it stands in.
