The stark yellow eyes are really appealing, almost as if they are communicating through their brightness (light) to us, the audience, which is a great double meaning to the title, I think :D

Really lovely, as always, Barbara :) I really like the colour composition and the expressive brush strokes that are clearly visible on the closed up views :D

Also, .... loving how the text from underneath still shows through at parts.... Almost as if there's still hidden messages from the book, your canvas, through the eyes of the figure :)
