Iris sync

Last night I had the urge to listen to the old folk song "Lovely Joan" as sung (first stanza only) by Miranda Sex Garden.


It's from their 1992 album Iris, the cover art of which is a closeup of a human iris -- and also, I notice now, some "leaves of gold" imagery. There is no white of the eye, just a disembodied iris and pupil:


Today, clicking for a random /x/ thread en route to archive.org, I got one from 2014 called "eyes , post them." As might be expected, most of the posts are photos of eyes -- sometimes a single eye, sometimes a pair, but almost always a complete eye or eyes. The image in the original post, though, is a close-up of just the iris and pupil:


One of the images in this sync is a blue eye, and the other a reddish one, thus synching with the "Red and blue spectacles" theme. The names Joan and Iris have of course also been important in syncs, and the "milk-white steed" in the song may relate to the Four Horsemen syncs (e.g. "Flour Boy symbolism roundup").
