In ‘Wajah – wajah Malaysia’ artwork, we are using lithophane that will reveal an image which is created by 3D printing material and can contain highly detailed images with a glimpse of light. The multiple elements required to reveal the hidden images make the lithophane so interesting to observe.

In 3D printed lithophane artwork is made of thin material with varying thicknesses. Thicker parts within the lithophane will block lighter than the thinner parts. This way the material can manipulate different intensities of light passing through the material.

With the eye, it can be seen as different intensities of bright and dark on the lithophane. The bright and dark gradient will represent different intensities of gray. These different intensities can create highly detailed images of artwork.

Artist will choose the design skills with different shapes and attributes. These features are highly design, so there are lots of undiscovered ways to design it which could be a great innovative look for lithophane.
