                <text>When I am working on different artworks, I really put a lot of importance on the eyes. Good Deaf eyes are so important because that is how we express ourselves and receive information, so they must be perfect and clear.&#13;
&#13;
I was using different colored cut paper to create the eyes on another project. I would add some, look at it, decide I didn't like it and try again. I did this over and over until I got it just the way I liked it. Then I turned around to see the pile of discarded eyes. I thought to myself, "I can't just throw these away, Deaf eyes are too important!"&#13;
&#13;
So that was how this artwork came to be. So I added the eyes around the canvas and included one large eye in the center. I wanted to emphasize the importance of Deaf eyes. When I was satisfied with the arrangement, I added the color pink to each eye and added a larger pink ornament to the center of the artwork.&#13;
&#13;
Then I looked at the artwork again to see if I was satisfied. I wasn't, it needed something else - something optimistic. So I added the bird to the center eye. Then I knew it was complete. When people see it, sometimes they look bewildered and say, "Thats your interpretation of Deaf eye?" When turned on its side, it could almost look like a vagina with the clitoris. So then I thought that people would view the art as negative. But that is surrealism.</text>
