Dallas - Eyeball, The

The Eye at The Joule

In the heart of downtown Dallas, the larger-than-life optic sculpture, Eye, is one of the city’s most iconic photo ops.

Created by American artist Tony Tasset, the 30-foot-tall fiberglass, resin, and steel sculpture is a replica of Tasset’s own eye. Referencing everything from a pharaoh’s eye, a Masonic eye, and the eye of “Big Brother,” the piece ultimately means “whatever you want,” says Tasset. “Eye is one of those images that has taken on a number of meanings over the years. God and consciousness are just two of them.”
