The saying that the eyes are the window to the soul. But the eyes are a black hole, at the centre. A chilling void, if you look ‘into’ somebody’s eyes, as the romantic line goes. They’re not a window. It’s the eyelids and muscles around the eyes that make the eyes expressive. The face is the only part of the body where the function of the muscles is to express emotion, rather than create movement or support. Film directors use close-ups on the face, to express emotion. Botox, fillers and plastic surgery are all destructive of emotion.
