The Third Eye Open incorporates the portrait I originally made for my Make Art Not War print back during the Iraq War. (The) image also includes a third eye blooming like a flower, I believe that what the third eye represents: a dialogue with one’s inner self, higher consciousness, and quest for enlightenment, is essential to achieve peace and harmony. I’ve often used the phrase “eyes open-mind open” and I think “third eye open” is a similar but slightly weightier idea because it addresses looking not only outward to observe, but inward as well.
