- The eyes are the window to the soul

"The eyes are the window to the soul..."

In my belief, the eyes offer a sense of truth, passion, and honesty. The start of this project displays dreamers and artists, all studying, producing, or maintaining a creative lifestyle. The continuation of this project will not only contain artists and dreamers, but anyone with aspirations for present and future.

As I always say, "We Are The Artists."

(330/358) Anna Banker (143 days earlier) A girl who was a complete stranger to me in March, is now one of the closest people I have in my life. She continues to, "wow," me, and has since the day we met. Not being one to put myself out there, I took a leap of faith and complimented her, not knowing what would come of it. The relationship we have built, starting from the ground up, has amazed me. I wouldn't have it any other way, and I can't stress enough just how lucky, thankful, and fortunate I am to have her in my life. <3

(311/358) "...I wonder if darkness is defined by light. If so, darkness can’t exist on its own. There must, by definition, be light somewhere. Waiting to be found." I've managed to stow some away. Where/how I am, 92 days later: - After months of Chiropractic treatment, muscular rehab, bills coming in, lows and highs of both physical and mental endurance...I feel a range of emotions. Good. Bad. But we can only make the best with the time we have, yes? So that is what I'll do.

(222/358) (Hospital Day 4) - I need to shave. Lookin' a bit more healed from day 2 (I'll write this all again) Miracles at work my friends. My car rolled 3 times, head was hitting the ground as it rolled, air bags didn't deploy except for my drivers side which just hung outside the door the entire time I was rolling, and I have, no broken bones, no surgeries needed, no special tubes, or anything. I came out coughing blood of 7 hours, and needing my lungs to be monitored, while giving me morphine to control whatever pain was going on. I can't believe it. The staff can't believe it. All I can say is, I feel like walking, breathing miracle.

(217/358) Yoahn Han - Artist We met in 2009 when I went spring semester at School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He is from South Korea. An amazing artist, and friend; he has helped me in more ways than I think he knows. The Project: "The eyes are the window to the soul..." In my belief, the eyes offer a sense of truth, passion, and honesty. The start of this project displays dreamers and artists a like, all studying, producing, or maintaining a creative lifestyle. They have been given the quote, "the eyes are the windows to the soul," and have also been told, "think about what you aspire to. Your dreams, what you see yourself doing in the future, and where you are." It is my hopes to generate feeling, and a sense of honesty, that is able to be interpreted through the eyes, with the assistance of facial expression. I've always said that, "We are the artists," and I believe this to be true. Just by being alive, we are artists, and what we do in life is just one more paint mark on a canvas. That is why the continuation of this project will not only contain artists and dreamers, but anyone with aspirations for present and future. This is an ongoing series started in 03.11.

(156/358) Bryant Scannell (self) - An observer 81 days ago The idea that the eyes are the window to the soul has been quoted, stated, and repeated over the years while being expanded up and used as inspiration for countless numbers of projects from A - Z. Say what you will, but the eyes offer a sense of truth, passion, wonder, feeling...etceteral. Realistically, we'll never fully understand any individual. They're secrets, dreams, reasons for being. These things are impossible to fully understand, as we are most truthful to ourselves when we are in the privacy of our own. The start of this project inhibits dreamers, and aspiring artists (according to study or production). Some have been given the quote "the eyes are the windows to the soul" and some have been told to "think about what you aspire to. your dreams, what you see yourself doing in the future, and where you are." Now, I am branching out in my ongoing project of, "people you meet," and also including family, and etcetera. Like I've always say, "We are the artists." We don't need a series of work or visuals to be one. The ongoing project in part with, "people you meet." > : They say the eyes are the windows to the soul.
