"The old saying goes that eyes are the window to the soul.



For Lorne Park area artist Meena Chopra, they are so much more. In her artist statement for her current solo exhibition, Eyes of Time, Chopra says they symbolize seeing and light, and also depict consciousness. “The eye is that part of us that beholds the universe and sees our place in it,” she writes. “It’s knowledge, awareness and wisdom. The eye takes in light, the pure energy of the universe, and presents it to the inner spirit. It’s the gateway, the very union, between the self and cosmos.” Eyes serve as the inspiration and focus of her ongoing exhibition, which continues through Friday, Sept. 15 at the Heritage Mississauga offices located at 1921 Dundas St. W."

Eyes symbolize seeing and light, and therefore depicting consciousness itself, The eye is the part of us that beholds the universe and sees our place in it. It is knowledge, awareness and wisdom. The eye takes in light, the pure energy of the universe, and presents it to the inner spirit. It is the gateway, the very union, between the self and the cosmos”.

“Aankhen uthin to dekha kaynaat jal rahi thi
jab ye jhukin to tum the aur kuchh bhi nahin”

Roughly translated: When the eyes rose outwardly they saw the entire universe afire. When they opened inwards, it was you and nothing but you (the one reality of life)

(Lines are from my Hindi poem titled “Aur Kuchh bhi nahin” (And Nothing Else) (from my Hindi collection “Adieu to the Dawn” – “Subah ka sooraj ab mera nahin hai”)"
