Atokirina (Woodsprite)

The sacred seed that started it all! Without the help of the seeds from the Tree of Souls who knows where Jake Sully would have ended up?

I enjoyed the difficult challenge of creating the natural, delicate shape of the atokirina using LEGO pieces. With my chosen scale every utilized piece makes a significant impact on the overall design - I especially enjoy how the basketball hoop piece doubles as the shaping of the seed's central core while also providing practical support to hold the model above the base.

The circular base was designed to be lit from underneath to subtly evoke the bioluminescence of Pandora while not distracting from the graceful beauty of the atokirina.
