Blue Iris

“Iris lives in-between worlds, where matter and illusion merge.”

The iris is a thin, circular structure in the eye, responsible for controlling the diameter and size of the pupil and thus the amount of light reaching the retina. In Greek mythology, Iris (ἴρις) is the personification of the rainbow. Iris links the gods to humanity. She travels with the speed of wind from one end of the world to the other and into the depths of the sea and the underworld.
