Windows

I finally understood why I am obsessed with eyes. In almost all my artwork, there are eyes looking solemn, scared or dreamy etc. Eyes are the windows to our soul and indeed, they are. One can tell whether a person is telling the truth by looking into another's eyes. One can express him or herself just by using his or her eyes.

There was an email I received just today, from an old friend, talking about a book she was intending to publish. I was not very surprised by the topic and when she mentioned "personal account". She could've well been a Dr something if it was not for whatever happened. She's a person with extreme high IQ. I was more surprised, or, should I say shocked when I met her last year after almost a decade of not being in contact, her eyes were soulless  avoiding my gazes as we hold conversations. Then I knew, she has not been feeling fine for the past few years. Somehow it sparked my curiosity, she was rolling tobacco and having interesting conversations with me about life and relationships 8 years ago when she was back in Singapore during her summer break from LSE. I am concerned, in fact, what actually happened during those 8 years?

Eyes, are powerful and they can bare your soul to anyone, no matter how powerful your speech or words are, your eyes will always be giving you away. Therefore, I believe in honesty and be true to oneself, that's how peace and bliss will be achieved.
