Daily Art Journal Prompt : Daisy Yellow's "Windows"

Prompt #2: Windows  The prompt today is to cut a window in paper.  Using an x-acto knife against a fabric cutting board, cut a window in an index card or cardstock.

Interpretation mouth, pathway to the soul versus the eye. but as seen in the photo there is an eye inside the mouth so perhaps the the pathway to my soul is hidden away..out of sight.
