Symbolism

Silver-white Horse

Sarana journeys through a land layered in symbolism and meaning. You can read the story straight, just as it is, however, you might also want to explore some of the underlying symbolism that makes her journey connect more deeply with her subconscious.

Symbolism happens when an object has meaning beyond its actual use or existence. An apple is a sweet fruit but it has come to be a symbol of health (an apple a day keeps the doctor away), temptation or a forbidden fruit (the Garden of Eden story), and peace and beauty (in China).

As you explore the symbolism in Sarana’s world, think about the things around you ... the things in your room, on your desk, on your walls, your jewelry or clothes ...

What do they mean to you? What do they say about you?
