My piece centralizes on Lady Macbeth’s face. The face shows only eyes and no other features‚ this is for good reason. Lady Macbeth struggles throughout the play "Macbeth" with not being able to find rest and sleep. I wanted to draw attention straight to her eyes which outwardly show rest and peace.
