Eyes
Eyes are probably the most important symbolic sensory
organ. They can represent clairvoyance, omniscience, and/or a gateway into the
soul. Other qualities that eyes are commonly associated with are: intelligence,
light, vigilance, moral conscience, and truth.
Looking someone in the eye is a western custom of honesty. In this way covering of the eyes, by wearing a helmet, sunglasses, etc. can mean mystery, not seeing the complete truth, or deceit. However, in other cultural contexts the obscuring of the eyes can convey respect (Asian) or modesty and submission (many middle eastern women wear veils for this purpose).
